§ Mr. ANEURIN WILLIAMSasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office 625W whether he can arrange to have posted in all public libraries, urban and rural district council offices, and other suitable public places information as to money and other property found on dead soldiers so that those entitled may be informed and may put in their claims?
§ Mr. FORSTERMy hon. Friend is, perhaps, not aware that particulars of the next-of-kin of every officer and soldier are recorded to facilitate the disposal of his estate in the event of death. If the details are insufficient to enable the next-of-kin to be traced, estates not disposed of within nine months are advertised in the "London Gazette," the "Army List," and in local newspapers, but I will consider the question of further publicity.
