§ Mr. M. MacMillanasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware 1628W that a great part of short periods of leave of Servicemen going to and from Continental theatres and the Western Isles is occupied in travelling; and whether arrangements will be made to allow additional travel time and count leave as starting from the time of arrival at the Island ports.
§ Sir J. GriggYes, Sir. The time taken in travelling will not count against the period of leave. This will run from the time they arrive in the particular Island to the time they leave it.
