HC Deb 08 July 1919 vol 117 c1637W
Mr. ROBERT YOUNG

asked the Minister of Health whether soldiers serving on a duration-of-war engagement, and who are now eligible, or will shortly become eligible, for demobilisation will be granted permission, where desired, to contest seats at the forthcoming November municipal elections?

Dr. ADDISON

The question whether leave can be given in the cases referred to is one for the Army Council, with whom I will communicate on the subject.
