Mr. Shephard

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of days of leave granted per annum to troops serving on the Indo-Burma front.

Sir J. Grigg

British Army personnel serving on the India-Burma front are eligible for. 28 days' recuperative leave annually to the nearest health resort, subject to the exigencies of the Services, with entitlement to free travel to the destination. My hon. Friend will appreciate that it may be necessary for operational reasons to curtail this leave.
