§ 67. Mr. Chapmanasked the Minister of Defence what particular steps he has taken, following assurances given some time ago, to see that all Service Departments attend immediately to the issue of a death certificate to relatives of men dying on active service; and why there has again been delay in a case about which he has received details.
Mr. WardI have been asked to reply.
I have already written to the hon. Member explaining why there was delay in the particular case to which he referred. He has also had a letter from my noble Friend, the Minister without Portfolio, explaining the general arrangements, regarding the issue of death certificates, in peace and in war.
