§ Mr. D. Grahamasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that quite a fair proportion of soldiers, whose homes are in Scotland, are stationed in various barracks in England, and that such men when granted leave are unable to take advantage of it because of the prohibitive cost of railway travelling; that in most cases the soldiers are making allotments to their parents which limits their resources to such an extent as to create a real hardship; and will he consider the advisability of revising the railway facilities in such manner as will enable the serving soldier being given some hope of visiting his home and relatives when on leave?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaAs I have previously stated, a free warrant will be given for leave prior to embarkation for overseas, and also to men granted leave from France. Men travelling on leave at other times will have the concession of a double journey for a single fare.
