§ Sir W. Waylandasked the Secretary of State for War whether officers quartered in towns where their homes are situated can be allowed to reside with their families instead of having to live in barracks or, in some cases, where barrack accommodation is not available, to pay for accommodation in hotels?
§ Captain MargessonThe circumstances in which military personnel can be given permission to reside with their families depend on operational considerations, and the decision is consequently a matter for the local commander. The general policy is to permit the issue of sleeping out passes to married personnel when and where operational requirements admit.
