§ 21. Viscount CURZONasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to withdraw the cheap travelling facilities allowed to relatives visiting wounded soldiers in hospital in the United Kingdom; whether this will cause special hardship to those who have had to suffer most; and, if so, whether the decision can be reconsidered, at any rate, in special cases?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThis was a special War concession, which it has been decided to withdraw at the end of this present month.
§ Viscount CURZONDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think this imposes a considerable hardship on men who have had to suffer most? Could he not give some consideration to special cases?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI am afraid I cannot add anything to the answer I have given.
