HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 cc642-3W
Mr. Collins

asked the Secretary of State for War if men of the C.M.F. and S.E.A.C. who return to this country for demobilisation after more than three years' overseas service without home leave, will be granted 28 days' privilege leave, in addition to 56 days' demobilisation leave.

Mr. Bellenger

As explained by my right hon. Friend yesterday in answer to a similar Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Aston, Birmingham (Major Wyatt), regarding men transferred from C.M.F. to B.L.A., the privilege leave in question is not admissible unless the soldier remains in the Army; if he is released as soon as he returns from overseas his release leave becomes due immediately.
