§ 23. Mr. WINGasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will provide, in cases where the War Office or hospital authorities send for relatives to visit the wounded, for a free railway pass being granted or full fare allowed?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on this subject to my hon. Friend the Member for the Kirkdale Division of Liverpool on the 28th June last. The privilege of free travelling is already allowed, but it is necessarily restricted to cases in which the sick or wounded soldier is in a grave condition, and it can only be granted to one relative and on condition that the relative is not in a position to pay the cost of the journey.
