§ Mr. LAMBERTasked the Secretary of State for War if men who have returned from long periods of service in the enervating climate of the East are entitled to more than the usual one month's furlough on demobilisation?
Captain GUESTI would refer my right hon. Friend to my reply on the 14th instant to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Midlothian and Peebles, in which I stated that careful consideration has1240W been given to the question of the granting of additional furlough to soldiers who have been abroad for two or more years without home leave, but I regret that under present circumstances I do not see my way to grant such additional furlough in these cases. I would point out to my right hon. Friend that a number of the men referred to have already received overseas leave.
