§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that an Eastbourne firm, Messrs. H. T. White and Company, has refused to grant leave of absence for the purposes of camp to two of its employés, who are members of the Cinque Ports Rifles, and have stated that unless some other arrangement can be made the men will have to leave its employ; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. HALDANEI am not aware of the circumstances, but if they are as stated in the question the two men should apply to their Commanding Officer, explaining the position, and asking him to grant them leave of absence from this year's annual training in camp.
