Sir M. BARLOWasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether many men have served two years and even more in Salonika without any leave; and whether some reasonable arrangements for leave can now be made?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONAs I stated yesterday, arrangements have now been made for the resumption of leave parties from Salonika to the United Kingdom, and I am hopeful that it will be possible to give leave in the near future to all those who have been abroad so long at Salonika without any leave.
§ Mr. WILESasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the last batch of men called to the Colours from the City of of London Police Force, and now attached to the Brigade of Guards at Caterham, have not received the leave that was promised them on being posted to their regiments; and, if so, will he arrange with the military authorities that this is granted?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The men referred to proceeded on seven days' leave on Monday last.
