HC Deb 07 November 1940 vol 365 c1434
59. Mr. Isaacs

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the difficulty in obtaining evidence of definite identity of persons killed and badly mutilated in the air raids; and whether, as the procedure of presumption of death in the High Courts is expensive, he will give consideration to some simplified and less expensive method of issuing certificates?

Mr. H. Morrison

My attention has been drawn to the difficulty which the hon. Member mentions, and the question of devising a simple procedure to meet it is at present under consideration.
