HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 c170W
Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Minister of Defence if he will reconsider the decision that military personnel are to provide their own fares home for every third leave, as that decision bears with undue hardship upon those men who are stationed long distances from their homes.

Mr. Alexander

Members of the Services stationed at home will continue to be allowed three free travel warrants a year for leave purposes. Instructions limiting the number to two, which were issued provisionally while the matter was under consideration, are being withdrawn.
