§ 46. Mr. PETOasked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange that, in future, lists of casualties should state the approximate date of the operations to which they relate, instead of only the date on which they are communicated from general headquarters?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Tennant)This information is always furnished to the next of kin when available, but it would not be easy to introduce it into the published lists without considerably complicating those lists.
§ Mr. PETOWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability, in that case, of omitting all dates, as dates are merely misleading?
§ Mr. TENNANTYes, I will consider that. I do not think there is any advantage myself.
