HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 c1608W
Lieut.-Colonel Macnamara

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the policy to treat Voluntary Aid Detachment workers of the British Red Cross Association, who are serving in this country and live in Ireland, in the same way as members of His Majesty's Forces as regards leave to that country?

Mr. Eden

I understand that members of Voluntary Aid Detachments are treated as civilians for the purpose of travel to Ireland when on leave.
