§ Captain ORMSBY-GOREasked the Minister of Labour whether he can arrange for the early demobilisation of fifty-three members of the Staffordshire County Police Force, for whom application has been made by the Chief Constable of Staffordshire without result?
§ Sir R. HORNEI understand the fifty-three men in question are those still remaining in the Navy, Army, and the Air Force out of 1914 for whom application was made in November last. If the hon. and gallant Member will give me particulars of their names and full military addresses, I wll look into the matter; I cannot, however, give any undertaking that the War Office will be able to grant their early release, since so much depends on where the men are serving, and whether or not thy are temporarily required for the military machinery of demobilisation.
