§ Sir WILLIAM PEARCEasked the Secretary of State for War whether arrangements have been made to transport men home from Egypt who have served in the Army since early in the War?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAs explained in my statement on Vote A and the Vote on Account, and on previous occasions, the great majority of the men who joined up before the 1st January, 1916, will undoubtedly be brought home for demobilisation as fast as shipping becomes available, while the small proportion it is necessary to retain will, I hope, be granted leave on the same scale as the men in the nearer theatres.
