HC Deb 18 November 1952 vol 507 cc135-6W
53. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for War the result of his inquiries into the statements by Regular soldiers in the Middle East whose demobilisation date was overdue that they had been informed that they could return home by air if they paid the fare of £21; and if he will re-imburse soldiers who paid the fare as well as the cost of their accommodation in Malta while awaiting transport by air.

Mr. Head

I have taken steps to stop this happening again. The men have been repaid.
