§ Sir R. Youngasked the Secretary of State for War whether repatriated prisoners of war are liable to be sent overseas on active service a second time; and what period of time is likely to elapse before further foreign service is required of them.
§ Mr. A. HendersonAs regards the first part of my hon. Friend's Question, I would refer him to a reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Clay Cross (Mr. Neal) yesterday. As regards the second part of the Question, if the men are eligible for service overseas they are, generally speaking, retained in this country for six months before being so posted.
