We all sympathise with the hon. Member's concern about these cases. The matter was gone into by the three Services fully and sympathetically only just over a year ago. It was concluded that the present arrangements ought to stand, because to extend them would be to run the risk—because of the practical difficulties of repatriation to which I have referred—of being unfair in giving different treatment as between one case and another. I therefore felt that on the basis of that examination we should stand by the existing rules.
