§ 5. Mr. Swinglerasked the Secretary of State for War why the men on the staff of Darua camp, H.B.T.D., Deolali, India Command, have to complete two years' overseas service before qualifying for L.I.A.P. leave, whereas the men of other units enjoy this privilege after 15 months' overseas service; and if he will remove this differentiation.
§ Mr. J. FreemanNo fixed period of overseas service is required in India for 1862 eligibility for L.I.A.P., but vacancies are allotted on a points basis, as my right hon. Friend explained in a reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Aston (Mr. Wyatt) on 28th January. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of that reply.
