§ Mr. J. M. MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for War whether N. Crabtree, No. 296528, A.C. 2, No. 6 Stores Depot, Royal Air Force, Ascot, who was applied for by his employers, the Stanley Motories, Limited, Halifax, on 6th January, 1919, has been recommended for release from the Army; and whether, in view of the great need of taxi-drivers in Halifax, he will now issue instructions for his discharge?
§ Major-General SEELYNo application for the release of this airman has been received either by the Air Ministry or the War Office. It is not considered that the reason given in the latter part of the ques- 2109W tion justifies his release out of his turn, as he does not fulfil the conditions laid down for early demobilisation.
