HC Deb 19 December 1944 vol 406 c1627W
Mrs. Tate

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will allow officers who were forced to leave the Army during this war on account of age or ill-health before the introduction of the Notice Leave concession to count, unpaid, six weeks in addition to their actual period on duty, for gratuity, medal, etc.

Sir J. Grigg

The hon. Member's proposal would involve reviewing the case of every officer and in fairness also of every other rank who has left the Army since the beginning of the war and, if only on these grounds, it is, I fear, impracticable.
