HC Deb 30 January 1945 vol 407 cc1268-9
33. Mr. Walter Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for War, what leave upon discharge is granted to Army personnel when discharged for the purpose of resuming their civilian occupation.

Sir J. Grigg

Officers and men are not discharged for the purpose of resuming their civilian occupation. When they are released from the Army to take a specific job of national importance, it is assumed that their new employment is immediately available for them. They therefore get no notice leave.
