HC Deb 22 November 1945 vol 416 c579
21. Mr. Norman Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when former Civil Defence personnel will get their deferred pay and gratuities.

Mr. Ede

Arrangements for the payment of these credits through the Post Office Savings Bank arc now in active operation, but my hon. Friend will realise that the necessary calculations throw a considerable strain upon the local authorities and that some time must elapse before all cases can be settled.
