§ 25. Sir Irving Alberyasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether some steps can be taken in the case of death casualties to make available a death certificate to the nearest relative free of charge, or, otherwise, whether arrangements can be made for some suitable certificate from the Admiralty to be accepted by the authorities and insurance companies instead?
§ Mr. ChurchillStatements giving the date of death of naval officers or men who lose their lives on war service are issued on application by the Admiralty; these statements are usually accepted by insurance companies and other similar organisations as evidence of death.
§ Sir I. AlberyIf I draw my right hon. Friend's attention to correspondence that I have received on the subject, will he consider making some greater facilities available?
§ Mr. ChurchillCertainly, I shall be much obliged if my hon. Friend will write to me, or otherwise state his case to me.
