§ 23. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider giving the same concession to evacuee children desiring to write to their parents as is already granted to correspondence with the British Expeditionary Force?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI regret that the difficulties involved would make it impracticable to operate such a concession. There is the further consideration that a concession in this case would evoke claims for similar treatment from other classes of the community who feel that they are equally entitled to special consideration.
§ Sir T. MooreDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that it would greatly facilitate voluntary evacuation if this comfort were given to mothers, so that they could have closer contact with their children?
