21. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Ian Fraserasked the Secretary of State for War, if he will increase the facilities for the visiting of wounded men by the next-of-kin at the expense of the State.
§ Sir J. GriggI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (Mr. Bellenger) on 21st March.
§ Sir I. FraserAs that reply was not very helpful, would not my right hon. Friend indicate that he will be more sympathetic in this matter, particularly where soldiers are detained in hospital, who have been out of this country for many years?
§ Sir J. GriggI indicated then that if a soldier is dangerously ill, free warrants are provided. If he is not dangerously ill his relatives can travel to visit him at concession rates.
