HC Deb 19 October 1915 vol 74 cc1629-30W
Sir WILLIAM PEARCE

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether he is aware that soldiers who have died in home hospitals from wounds received in action have been considered non-parishioners, and that certain local authorities have charged their relatives double fees for burial or memorial; and whether cases of such hardship will be prevented in future?

Mr. FORSTER

No information to that effect has reached the War Office, but if my hon. Friend will give me any specific cases he may know of I will make inquiries.
