HC Deb 28 April 1953 vol 514 cc1933-4
9. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will allot free Coronation seats to all wounded British prisoners returned from Korea, provided that they are fit enough to travel.

Mr. Head

I am arranging for a number of free seats to be allotted to men who are now in military hospitals in this country as a result of wounds received on active service: this allocation will include prisoners of war returned from Korea.

Brigadier Clarke

Does my right hon. Friend appreciate what great pleasure it will give to these ex-prisoners to know that they will each get a free Coronation seat?
