§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasI assume the right hon. Member is referring to Naval Airman L/FX. 885458 Ronald Ernest Boud. Owing to an error in one of the certificates accompanying the application form for marriage allowance, it was necessary to have the application recertified. Payment of the £6 due was authorised by the Admiralty on the 20th November, 1952. I much regret any inconvenience that has been caused.
