§ Mr. STANTONasked the Secretary of State for War if he will consider some scheme to enable the fathers and mothers, or at least one near relative, to visit the graves of their son or sons who lost their lives in the late War; and will he grant a free return pass to the place where they are buried; and is he aware that his two predecessors promised that such free passes should be granted?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONAs my hon. Friend was informed on 29th October last, it is not practicable to issue free travelling passes to relatives to visit graves in Flanders and Belgium, nor am I aware of any such promise having been made. I hope, however, that it may be possible to arrange for some facilities to be given in connection with the journey. Details of a scheme are now being worked out.
