HC Deb 28 March 1917 vol 92 cc439-40W
Mr. JACOBSEN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if the l/9th Manchester Territorials have been abroad on active service for nearly two years; whether during this time very few of the men have had home leave; and if, as far as it may be consistent with the national interest, such leave will be given to men applying for the same?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I am afraid that I can add nothing in regard to the second part of the question to the answer given on the 6th instant to the hon. Member for the Bridgeton Division of Glasgow.
