§ Mr. Daggarasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that quite recently a number of soldiers on leave were brought to Pontypool, Monmouthshire, at 11.45 p.m., an hour which made it impossible, because no means were available, for them to reach their homes; and whether he can take steps to arrange leave so that soldiers can reach their destination?
§ Captan MargessonExisting instructions provide that railway transport officers should be consulted with regard to the most convenient services for men going on leave, and that where soldiers have long distances to travel, they should depart as early as possible on the day on which their leave begins. If my hon. Friend will let me have further details of the particular case to which he refers, I shall be glad to look into it.
