§ Mr. A. Edward Daviesasked the Secretary of State for War if he has now completed his investigations and will now give his decision on a case originally submitted by the hon. Member for Burslem on 17th April, 1946, respecting settlement of payment for coal delivered by Alderman J. H. Dale, J.P., to prisoner-of-war camps, and dealt with under his reference J.M.C.S./ 13541.
§ Mr. BellengerThe serious conflict of evidence in this case has, I regret to say, involved delay for investigation and careful examination. I am now in a position to adopt the suggestion made to me by my hon. Friend, and am arranging for the matter to be discussed at the War Office with Mr. Dale, with a view to an early settlement.
