HC Deb 13 March 1919 vol 113 c1494W
Sir M. BARLOW

asked the Secretary of State for War, with regard to the undertakings given by the Government that relatives of soldiers who have fallen in France shall have an opportunity to visit the graves, whether he can now state how it is proposed to carry out these arrangements; and whether, in the case of Territorial or locally-raised units, opportunity will be given for relatives from a locality to visit France together?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to a question on this subject asked by the hon. Member for Southwark Central, on 13th February. The Committee there referred to, which has been considering this question, has not yet reported, and until their report is received I am not able to make any definite pronouncement as to the procedure to be followed. It is hoped that the report will be ready in a few days' time. The suggestion in the last part of the question will be carefully considered.
