asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether any charge is made for the entry of invalid chairs into Kew Gardens; if so, will he say what that charge is; and whether he will consider the advisability of allowing wounded soldiers using these chairs to pass in free?

Invalid chairs are admitted into Kew Gardens on payment of 1s. on students' days (Tuesdays and Fridays) and on payment of 6d. on other days. No charge is made for admission of wounded soldiers in invalid chairs, but they should bring with them the necessary permit from their hospital. If they should omit to do this a permit will be issued to them on application to the Business Office.
