HC Deb 08 April 1941 vol 370 c1415
59. Mr. Stokes

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the habit of not dating letters sent in reply to Members of this House is growing in Government Departments; and whether he will give instructions that the day as well as the month is typed on all Departmental replies?

Captain Crookshank

I have no reason to believe that there is any general failure to date letters sent to Members of the House, but if the hon. Member has any specific instance in mind, perhaps he would get in touch with the Minister concerned.

Mr. Stokes

In view of the fact that I have many examples here, should I send them all to my right hon. and gallant Friend the Financial Secretary, or to the Departments concerned?

Captain Crookshank

Each to the appropriate Ministry, I think. It is no use asking me to deal with them all.
