HC Deb 18 August 1919 vol 119 c1936W
Sir M. CONWAY

asked the Secretary of State for War on what principle officers of the Signal Service in the Egyptian Expeditionary Force are selected for release; and by what date those of 1914 and 1915 will be demobilised?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Officers of the Signal Service in Egypt who have served since 1914 and 1915 are now being released as soon as their services can be spared. Other circumstances being equal, preference is given to officers with the longest service. It is not possible to say when they will all be demobilised.
