§ Lieutenant-Colonel Hareasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is prepared to consider a scheme by which 2057W officers, in age groups which have been deferred for release can now be granted special leave, since they would have qualified for home leave if the announcement of their deferment had been made at an earlier date.
§ Mr. Lawson:I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply I gave on 30th October last to the hon. Members for Ripon (Mr. York), Grimsby (Mr. Younger) and Hornsey (Captain Gammans).
