§ Sir H. NIELDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the payment of the required fee for a passport (even though of 5s. only) is, in the case of poor persons desirous of visiting the graves of their relatives who have fallen in France or Belgium, a serious impost; and whether, in those cases where the circumstances are duly vouched for by a responsible person, he will remit the fee?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI understand that the conditions in the areas where the military cemeteries are situated do not admit of large numbers of visitors at the present time. The point raised in the question will, however, receive immediate consideration.
