§ Sir R. Youngasked the Secretary of State for War whether his Department is alone responsible for the suggestion of returning long-serving Servicemen to Britain to start families; if he is aware that the idea will prove unfair to one man as against another and give opportunities to men to get back to Britain on false grounds; and will he state the names of those composing the compassionate posting committee, their respective ages, whether married or single and the size of their families, with any other qualifications to determine considerations which should be the private concern of all married people.
§ Sir J. GriggI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to a number of hon. Members last week.
