HC Deb 20 March 1940 vol 358 c2022W
Mr. Higgs

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps he is taking to ensure that casualty lists are promptly and accurately published so as to avoid unnecessary suffering to the relatives and friends?

Mr. Stanley

Information as to casualties is communicated to the next-of-kin as soon as it is received. The policy followed in the matter of publishing casualty lists was explained in the answer given by my right hon. Friend to the right hon. Member for Keighley (Mr. Lees-Smith) on 30th January last.
