§ 17. Mr. Quintin Hoggasked the Secretary of State for War why two soldiers of whose names and numbers he has been informed, were sent on service behind the enemy lines after their period of five years overseas had already expired.
§ Sir J. GriggI am making inquiries of the Command concerned and will then communicate with the hon. Member.
§ Major C. S. TaylorIs there a minimum period of home service, after five years' service overseas?
§ Sir J. GriggThat is another question, which I have endeavoured to answer on other occasions. We are trying to secure a minimum service, but it is not always possible.
