HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 cc45-6W
Mr. McAdam

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the hard ship caused to soldiers and the inconvenience imposed upon the travelling public as a result of the equipment and kit which soldiers on leave are compelled to carry about with them; and if he will issue instructions to the Army commands that any equipment or kit which a soldier does not desire to take with him on leave can be left in charge of the regimental quartermaster

Mr. Lawson

Soldiers in the United Kingdom are not required to carry any equipment or kit when proceeding on leave. Instructions to that effect were issued in July, 1945.
