HC Deb 04 March 1941 vol 369 c791W
Sir W. Wayland

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will take all possible steps to reduce the interval of months which takes place from the date a member of the Air Force is officially reported killed to the date his personal effects are returned to his family?

Sir A. Sinclair

The importance of ensuring that effects of deceased R.A.F. personnel are released to the next of kin with the minimum delay is fully appreciated. A review is at the present time being undertaken to see what improvements in the system can be introduced.
