§ 14. Mr. HUGH LAWasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether paragraph 4 of the regulations on visits of relations to sick and wounded officers and men issued to the Press on 29th May, which lays down that only one relative in the case of each parent will be allowed to enter the zone of the armies would prevent a father and mother from both visiting a dangerously-wounded son at a hospital in Boulogne and elsewhere; and, if so, if he will take steps to have this regulation withdrawn or modified?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. It has been found possible hitherto to allow a limited number of persons to visit France for this purpose, and if it were to be made the rule that two persons might go in the case of each patient it might become necessary to restrict the number of cases in which visits are allowed. But this question is now under review.
