§ 103. Colonel ASHLEYasked the Minister of Pensions whether a decision has now been arrived at regarding the provision 47 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 railway ticket every three months instead of once in every six months?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Colonel Sir J. Craig)I cannot make any announcement on this subject, to which further consideration is being given.
§ Colonel ASHLEYIf I put a question down before the adjournment for Easter can the hon. and gallant Gentleman answer it?
§ Sir J. CRAIGI would prefer that it should be put down rather later than that.
