§ 71. Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider applications for temporary release from Her Majesty's forces from farmers on behalf of their sons or brothers during the harvest season.
§ Mr. HeadNo. Commanding officers whenever possible grant normal leave to these men during the harvest season. As my hon. Friend knows, the Army gives all possible help to farmers both by the loan of troops so far as training permits and by encouraging men to volunteer to help when off duty.
