HC Deb 26 November 1947 vol 444 c288W
89. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will consider extending the forty-eight hours' leave given to airmen by the period of time it takes them to travel from their camps to their homes, so that they may obtain the full benefit of this short leave and not be compelled to pass much of this time in travelling.

Mr. A. Henderson

No. These weekend passes are an addition to the normal leave of 30 days a year.
