§ 60. Mr. Prescottasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that there is a shortage in post offices of forms for claiming payment of post war credits; and what steps he will take to remedy this position.
§ Sir S. CrippsI am not aware of any shortage of these forms, but if difficulty in obtaining them has been experienced in any particular locality, I shall be glad to have inquiries made if the hon. Member will send me particulars.
§ Mr. PrescottIs the right hon. and learned Gentleman aware that an aged man in my constituency sent his daughter to a Post Office to obtain a form, but none was available and subsequently he died before any form could be obtained, and as a result post war credits were denied to his family? Will he do his best to ensure that cases of this kind cannot occur anywhere else in the country?
§ Sir S. CrippsWe certainly take steps to see that forms are available and if the hon. Gentleman will send particulars, I will have the case looked into.
