Mr. SNOWDEN
asked the Under-Secretary of State for War why Private J. Ruben, No. 110lJ, Jewish Battalion, has been drafted overseas after only three weeks in the Army and without any embarkation leave?
Mr. MACPHERSON
The man referred to by my hon. Friend had served for two months and ten days when drafted to complete his training overseas with his battalion. I am informed that he was given embarkation leave prior to leaving.
