§ 40. Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for War the reasons for the practice of declining to give the address of a soldier against whom there are legal claims in respect of goods bought from tradespeople and not paid for?
§ Mr. SHAWThe War Office have been advised that they are under no legal liability to furnish addresses in these cases, and it is understood that in refusing to communicate information of this kind to third parties for private purposes, the Department's long established practice is in consonance with that of such private institutions as banks.
