HC Deb 12 March 1946 vol 420 c189W
98. Mr. Levy

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will set a term to the period of oversea service, even if that period may not have been continuous.

Mr. Lawson

I regret that it would be quite impracticable to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion particularly having regard to the reductions in the establishments of the Army at home, and consequently reduced scope for employment in the United Kingdom.
