§ Mr. WATTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to a Regulation recently issued in military hospitals in Scotland prohibiting soldiers from being absent from these hospitals after 5.30 p.m.; whether he is aware that this prevents convalescent soldiers attending any of the many entertainments instituted for their enjoyment; and whether it is possible to get this Regulation relaxed for some hours at least on Saturday evenings?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy attention bad not been drawn previously to this matter, but I am making inquiry, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
