§ 11. Colonel ASHLEYasked the Pensions Minister whether a decision has now been arrived at regarding the provision of additional travelling facilities by means of half-fare vouchers to men undergoing treatment away from home; and whether, in view of the fact that it is a hardship to disabled men in such circumstances that they can only visit their homes free of cost at infrequent intervals, he will further consider the issue of a free rail way ticket every three months instead of once in every six months or some similar concession?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Major Tryon)I am not yet in a position to make any announcement on this matter.
§ Colonel ASHLEYWhen is the announcement likely to be made?
§ Major TRYONI hope very soon. Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will put down a question.
