HC Deb 04 April 1940 vol 359 c345W
Dr. Little

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, owing to the time required for the journey to their homes, he will arrange to grant soldiers from Great Britain stationed in Northern Ireland a period of leave which will enable them to spend seven days at least with their families?

Sir E. Grigg

Personnel serving in the United Kingdom who live at a long distance from their stations may, as an alternative to seven days' leave at intervals of three months, be granted 14 days' leave at intervals of six months.
