§ Miss WILKINSONasked the Secretary of State for War what is the total annual cost of the British Military. Permit Office, London; and whether its continuation is considered necessary and, if so, for how long?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI have been asked to reply. The Military Permit Office was abolished in 1922. There is, however, a section of the Passport Office which deals,inter alia, with permits to enter territories in military occupation, and the issue of war grave passes. The cost is included in the total establishment of the Passport Office.
