§ 41. Mr. Lipsonasked the Secretary of State for War if parents are given railway tickets at reduced rates to enable them to visit their wounded sons in hospital.
§ Sir J. GriggYes, Sir. Under a concession granted by the railway companies, railway tickets, at reduced rates, for the journey to and from the hospital are available for parents and certain other relatives of members of the Forces lying ill or wounded in hospitals in the United Kingdom. If the patient is dangerously ill free travel at public expense to the hospital is admissible for two persons, one of whom must be a relative.
