HC Deb 01 August 1947 vol 441 cc98-9W
Mr. Thurtle

asked the Prime Minister if all members of His Majesty's Forces who were reported in casualty lists as having died on active service are to be regarded as having died as a result of service for the purpose of entitling their next-of-kin to a Memorial Scroll on application to the Ministry of Pensions in cases where the next-of-kin is not in receipt of a pension.

The Prime Minister

The next-of-kin of those of His Majesty's Forces who died as a result of service will be qualified for the grant of a Memorial Scroll. Next-of-kin of those who died otherwise will not so qualify, whether or not the name appeared in a casualty list.
