HC Deb 22 May 1919 vol 116 cc592-3W
Major STEEL

asked the Secretary of State for War why it is that men of the 2nd Cavalry Division who are waiting to be demobilised can be sent home on leave and brought back again to Belgium, but cannot be sent home to be demobilised?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The Cavalry Division to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers has been reduced to a cadre. I would refer to the answer given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Lancashire (Waterloo Division) on Tuesday hast, to the effect that cadres are being brought home as rapidly as possible in order that the demobilisable personnel may be released.
