§ 21. Mr. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is upon the authority of his Department that an order has been issued that as from a specified date all soldiers charged with absence without leave will forfeit all post-war gratuities and other emoluments that may have accrued to them.
§ Sir J. GriggI am not aware of any such order. Perhaps the hon. Member will let me know more precisely what he has in mind.
§ Sir H. WilliamsIs my right hon. Friend aware that if he would stand up and not lean on the Box we should hear him better?
