Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 5 April 1955.
It amounts to this, that people who cannot afford to bring their sons home must have them buried abroad, but people who are well off and can afford to do so can provide the facilities to bring their sons home. Because others are poor, it is a class distinction exercised by the War Office which penalises parents who cannot afford to bring their sons home to be buried in their own country. That is my interpretation of the matter.
