§ 75. Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for Defence why records of inquiries into accidental deaths in the Army are no longer kept after a period of six years has elapsed.
§ Mr. Boyden:The records of the proceedings of inquiries into individual deaths are kept for at least 70 years as part of soldiers' personal documents.
The information which my hon. Friend asked for on 8th November was dispersed among many sets of records and was not readily available. I am writing to him to let him know what information has been collected.
