§ 63. Viscount CURZONasked whether arrangements tan be made for any Members of Parliament to visit the War-zone battlefields and districts likely to become the subject of international discussion in the areas in France and Germany now in the occupation of the Allies during the Easter Recess?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIt is regretted that there are no funds at the disposal of the War Office which would enable arrangements of this nature to be granted at the public expense. Facilities as regards the issue of permits to visit these areas will, however, be given to Members who are willing to arrange for their own transport and accommodation.
§ Mr. DEVLINCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the statement published in the Press that Members of Parliament propose to go to Germany is true, and has this the sanction of the Government?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have not seen any such statement.
§ Mr. DEVLINIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the proper place for Members of Parliament is on the Standing Committees?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThat question should not be addressed to the War Office.
