HC Deb 19 March 1946 vol 420 cc357-8W
Mr. Marlowe

asked the Minister of Education, in view of the fact that her Department has informed Miss Moggridge that money due to her from the Ministry can only be paid on completion of a form, why repeated requests to be supplied with the necessary form have been ignored.

Miss Wilkinson

A form of application for repayment (which includes attestation as to identity) was sent to Miss Moggridge in August last. When Mrs. Moggridge applied on her daughter's behalf in September she was told that a form had been sent to her daughter. It subsequently appeared that Miss Moggridge had never received this form and had gone to Singapore. This raised complications under Defence (Finance) Regulations, 1939, and I regret that while these complications were being resolved no communications beyond acknowledgments were sent to Mrs. Moggridge's further applications on her daughter's behalf for a form. Special arrangements have now been made to pay to Miss Moggridge in Singapore the sum due to her.
