HC Deb 31 July 1939 vol 350 c1970W
Mr. Groves

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will inquire into the circumstances attending the official reply to Mrs. A. Matthews, regarding her son, a militiaman, No. 10017271, which was illegible; and whether he will give instructions that, when letters are sent to parents, the name of the militiaman shall be firstly stated, and the number appertaining stated subsequently?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I have been unable to trace this case from the particulars given in the question. Perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to send me the letter to which he refers, in order that the matter may be looked into.

Forward to
