HC Deb 03 October 1944 vol 403 cc742-3
49. Wing-Commander James

asked the Prime Minister what age and service groups it is anticipated that it will prove possible to release from the Forces upon the conclusion of hostilities in the European theatre.

The Prime Minister

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the recently published Command Paper 6548 giving the Government's proposals for reallocation of man-power, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. John Dugdale

Will the right hon. Gentleman give special consideration to those men who have been serving long periods overseas by counting one year's service overseas as equal to two years' service at home?

The Prime Minister

All this is dealt with in the White Paper, and I understand there is to be a Debate upon it.
