HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 c31W
91. Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is prepared to contribute towards the travelling expenses of parents or close relatives wishing to attend the funeral in Germany of an officer or other rank who dies on service in that country.

Mr. Shinwell

This suggestion has been carefully considered, but I regret that practical and financial difficulties preclude its adoption.
