HC Deb 12 May 1919 vol 115 cc1371-2W
Sir HERBERT NIELD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that there are hundreds of British soldiers who have been in Macedonia for two and a half and three years who have had no leave, and that these men are now being sent to the Caucasus and Anatolia; and whether he will have the matter inquired into with a view to these soldiers being granted leave at an early date?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I regret that I am unable to add anything to the statement circulated in the Official Report of 6th May, in which I fully explained our proposals for leave for men in the East.
