HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 c1630W
Mr. BILLING

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that many officers and men at present in France have received no leave whatsoever since July, 1915, while other officers and men have been home for two or three stretches on leave during this period; and will he say what is the principle, if any, which governs the allotment of leave to officers and men in the field?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which was given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of "State in reply to the hon. Member for the Houghton-le-Spring Division on the 2nd. November.
