HC Deb 03 July 1917 vol 95 cc883-4
1. Mr. DENMAN

asked the Under-secretary of State for War whether he is aware that compulsory residence in the Great Central Hotel in many cases adds unnecessary unpleasantness to the process of convalescence; and whether, in appropriate cases, convalescent officers will be allowed to stay with responsible relatives or friends?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Macpherson)

This hospital is going to be used as a primary, and not as a convalescent, hospital.

Mr. KING

Will it be used for officers?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Yes.

Mr. KING

For officers only?

Sir C. HENRY

When does that change come into force?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I believe at once.
