§ Colonel ASHLEYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, when the present military situation on the Western Front is modified, it is the intention of the military authorities in France to aim at granting leave at least once in six months to regimental officers and men; and, if so, what will be the number of days' leave granted on each occasion?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIn present circumstances, I am afraid I cannot make any statement.
§ Colonel ASHLEYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War after how many months' service with the British Expeditionary Force in France an officer doing regimental duty may apply for 1244W leave; and how many months must a Staff officer have served in order to qualify to make a similar application?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am afraid I can add nothing to my reply to my hon. and gallant Friend on the 4th July.
