HC Deb 20 November 1956 vol 560 cc72-3W
Lieut.-Colonel Cordeaux

asked the Minister of Defence what terminal leave will be granted to recalled reservists and retained Regular Service men when they are released.

Mr. Head

Recalled reservists will be granted a minimum of seven days leave. Those who were overseas and did not therefore benefit from the grant of leave during their service will receive an additional seven days. Reservists retained after release has started will be granted an additional day for every completed week of service after that date.

Retained Regular Service men will receive their normal entitlement of twenty-eight days terminal leave with an additional seven days if they have been retained for at least one month. Those retained for over four months will receive an additional day for each completed week of service in excess of that period.
