HC Deb 22 May 1916 vol 82 c1825W
Mr. PROTHERO

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether men called up in the remaining Derby groups in the event of their joining before 13th June will receive a month's leave from the date of their attestation, and whether the men will receive a month's leave if they join on 13th June?

Mr. TENNANT

All men in the groups have a month's grace before being called up. This dates from the date of the Proclamation calling up the group to which any individual man belongs. Those who attest after the Proclamation has been published have a month counting from the date of their attestation.
