§ 103. Mr. Rees-Williamsasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that departmental and other officers of the Indian Army who retired during the war and before 8th May, 1945, on reaching the retiring age, were granted only 91 days' war leave, less any war leave previously taken during the year of retirement, or 42 days' notice leave, whichever was the more favourable, whereas such officers who retired before the war, or since 8th May, 1945, have been granted up to 12 months' leave pending retirement; and whether he will now treat the officers who retired during the war up to 8th May, 1945, in the same way as those who have retired since this date by making the necessary financial adjustments.
§ Mr. A. Henderson:I am making inquiries into this matter and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
