§ Captain Markhamasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now make an announcement on the subjects 811W of leave and warrant facilities for Members of Parliament serving with the British Expeditionary Force; and whether he proposes to amend G.R.D. 223 accordingly?
§ Mr. StanleyHon. Members serving with the British Expeditionary Force who obtain special leave to attend the House will be required to defray, at their own expense, the cost of the return journey to the port of disembarkation in the United Kingdom. For the journey from that point to London and back to the port of embarkation, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer has arranged that free transport facilities will be provided on application to the Fees Office. I will ask the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force to issue an amplification of General Routine Order 223 to make this clear.
