HC Deb 20 February 1946 vol 419 c269W
Mr. J. McKay

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that 4423 Major Ridley, Royal Garhwal Rifles, Indian Army, D.A.O.M.G., M.O.V. and T., Paiforce, was recommended for release by his Department early in December, 1945, and nothing further has been done about it; and will he make immediate inquiries to expedite the release.

Mr. A. Henderson:

I have been asked to reply. An application for the release under Class B of this officer was received by this Department from the Ministry of Labour and National Service on 13th December and a telegram was despatched to the Government of India on the 14th December. Despite a reminder on 31st January no reply has yet been received from the Government of India. I am again requesting them to expedite a reply.
