§ 43. Mr. Skinnardasked the Secretary of State for War whether men who were released from the C.M.P. to joint the Palestine Police, and who have now resigned from the latter force, have their period of service in Palestine counted towards their Army Class A release; and whether such men who are still in Class W (T) of the Reserve are entitled to clothing coupons.
§ Mr. BellengerService in the Palestine Police is reckonable for age and service grouping in the case of those men who are subsequently recalled to the Army after the end of their employment with the Palestine Police. When these men return home on leave at the end of their police service they can obtain, provided they establish their need, a few coupons for essential warm clothing. After that their treatment depends on whether they are rejoining the Army or not.
