HC Deb 25 July 1944 vol 402 c572
23. Mr. Geoffrey Hutchinson

asked the Secretary of State for War when he expects to be able to make a further statement regarding the proposals of his Department for demobilisation.

Sir J. Grigg

I am afraid I am not in a position to say when it will be possible to make a statement on this subject which, with other connected questions, is a matter of general Government policy.

Mr. Hutchinson

Is the Minister able to hold out any prospect that a statement on this subject will be made early after the Recess?

Sir J. Grigg

It is not really for me to hold out this prospect.
