§ Mr. BROOKESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the Army Council Intelligence Order 1328 of 1916, time-expired military men 782W are, at the discretion of their commanding officers, to be granted a month's furlough, provided that the men can be released from military duties; whether this also applies to time-expired military men who have been wounded, and who therefore specially deserve the furlough; and whether, in that event, he will take into consideration the case of Bombardier Campbell, No. 33,675, No. 9 Company, Royal Artillery Depot, South Camp, Ripon, Yorkshire?
§ Mir. MACPHERSONThese instructions apply to all N.C.O.'s and men who would become due in the ordinary course for discharge on the termination of their engagement. I have called for a report on the case of Bombardier Campbell, and will let my hon. Friend know how he is situated as regards furlough.
