§ Sir W. Waylandasked the Secretary of State for War, if, as the Regulations regarding the entry into certain Protected Areas have been relaxed, he will, in fairness to Army personnel stationed in those areas, give permission to the wives to visit their husbands.

§ Sir J. GriggThe relaxations I announced on 11th July were very carefully considered, and I cannot hold out any hope of further relaxations until the time comes to revoke altogether the remaining Protected Area Orders. The situation is continually under review, and they will not be kept in force any longer than is strictly necessary. Of course, if a Service man's wife comes within the new class of persons permitted to enter a Protected Area, namely "Persons evacuated to a Protected Area under the Government Evacuation Scheme," she gets the benefit of that concession.
