HC Deb 24 June 1952 vol 502 cc159-60W
95. Mr. J. Dugdale

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the case of Sergeant W. Morgan, now serving in Korea, he will take steps to see that the authorities concerned are informed of the correct method of finding out at a soldier's request whether a near relative is or is not dangerously ill.

Mr. Head

The procedure is well known to all concerned. In this particu- lar case, the request received by the War Office was for the investigation of the illness of an unspecified near relative of this soldier and further details had therefore to be obtained from the Command in which he was serving. We have pointed out that in all cases full particulars must be given.
