HC Deb 28 January 1902 vol 101 c1097
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office, whether, in the case of a deceased soldier for whose assets next of kin are advertised, these assets can be handed over to a person taking out letters of administration in the ordinary way.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Lord STANLEY,) Lancashire, Westhoughton

Yes, Sir. On production of letters of administration to the War Office, the effects of a deceased soldier are in the ordinary course issued to the grantee whether the amount has been advertised or not.
