HC Deb 06 May 1919 vol 115 c737
39. Lieutenant-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Pensions Minister whether he is aware that the facilities he is prepared to afford ex-Service men recovering from tuberculosis and certified non-infectious to proceed to warmer climates are valueless unless he can make arrangements with the Departments concerned to provide a few berths on board passenger steamers and with the overseas authorities to relax the immigration laws in such cases; and, whether, under the circumstances, he will reconsider his previous decision on this matter?

Sir J. CRAIG

My right hon. Friend will consider what steps can be taken in the direction indicated.
