§ 138. Major Symondsasked the Secretary of State for War why all officers of Group 28 serving in C.M.F., who were originally due for release in March, and have already had two deferments, first to April and then to May, now face a third deferment of their release until August; if there is any limit to the number of times an officer's release. can be deferred; and what steps he is taking to relieve the anxiety and uncertainty of these officers and their families with regard to promises of release.
§ Mr. LawsonThe latest information I have is that only one officer in Group 28 in C.M.F. has had his release deferred. Officers in this group were not due for release until 23rd to 31st May. It is not the fact that officers in this group in C.M.F., or in any group, have had their release deferred three times.
