§ 106. Major Wyattasked the Secretary of State for War whether in view of the fact that transport is no longer a limiting factor in the speed of demobilisation, he will consider the immediate reduction of the qualifying period for Python leave to three years in all or any theatres; and whether he will consider increasing the frequency of leave granted before a Serviceman becomes entitled to Python.
§ Mr. BellengerMy right hon. Friend will be making a statement or the subject of the length of overseas tours in the course of his speech on the Army Estimates today. The question of increased leave from overseas Theatres is still under consideration and I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the matter.
