Sir L. HARMSWORTHasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the fact that, owing to the time consumed by soldiers returning on leave to Highland homes, especially in districts where postal economies have considerably curtailed the running of passenger motors, etc., it frequently happens that the time actually available for remaining at home is reduced to a matter of hours only; and whether he could see his way to again cause this matter to form the subject of inquiry, with the view either of extending in these cases the normal period of leave or of ordering that time consumed in travelling shall be added to the period of leave?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI regret that I am unable to add anything to the answer which I gave on the 6th May last to my hon. Friend the Member for Orkney.
