§ Mr. PROTHEROasked the Under-Secretary of State for War what were the Regulations which at first governed the issue of leave to men called up under the groups and classes; whether those original Regulations have been cancelled; and, if so, what are the Regulations now in force?
§ Mr. TENNANTOriginally recruiting officers were authorised to grant a man ten days' leave, with free railway warrant, to enable him to settle his affairs. Under Army Council instructions issued in April the above was cancelled, and instead authority was given for men to travel free, by arrangement with the recruiting officer, for medical examination prior to being called up.
