§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will make inquiries into recent orders issued by the C. O. to H.Q.M.C. Bristol Channel Ports, Newport, withdrawing week-end 36, 48 and 72 hours' leave previously granted.
§ Mr. BellengerWeek-end leave of 30 hours has been granted at this establishment as work permitted. As the War Establishment has been reduced it has not been possible recently to allow so much leave of this nature. Short pass leaves of 48 hours are granted in accordance with a suitable roster. The grant of week-end and short pass leaves is a matter which must be left to the discretion of the commanding officer concerned.
