§ Sir H. ELVERSTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, even after travelling distances of fifty miles and upwards, the relatives of wounded soldiers in hospital are often refused an interview by the hospital attendants; and will he give instructions that, as a general rule, an interview shall be immediately- allowed where it can be shown that a special journey of at least twenty miles has been made for the purpose?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not aware that interviews are being refused generally under the circumstances to which my hon. Friend refers, but if he will give me 1167W specific instances I shall be happy to look into the matter, and see whether any special instructions are desirable.
