§ Brigadier-General Clifton Brownasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of the delays and expenses in getting letters of administration for Scottish civilians killed by air raids in England which are suffered by people domiciled in Scotland; and whether he will take steps to speed up the procedure in cases where facts of death clue to enemy action are not in dispute?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have received no complaints in the matter and I am not aware of any difficulty in getting letters of administration, that is, confirmation of executors, where the facts are not in dispute. If, however, the hon. and gallant Member will supply me with particulars of the cases he has in mind I will see that they are looked into.
