§ 4. Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Secretary of State for War if he will make a statement on the policy adopted with regard to leave for men who desire reasonable facilities for leave to enable them to participate in pre-enlistment activities.
§ Mr. F. MacleanArmy duties permitting, commanding officers try to be helpful.
§ Mr. SmithThat is not very satisfactory. While I am not asking for preferential treatment, I would ask for fair treatment, and if the Minister cannot give a proper answer today, will he reconsider the matter with a view to trying to give some satisfaction?
§ Mr. MacleanI do not see that we can say more than has been said, that where Army duties permit, commanding officers try to be helpful. That is a perfectly satisfactory answer.
