HC Deb 17 June 1947 vol 438 c193W
Mr. Paget

asked the Secretary of State for War why the British Legion have received no reply from the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, to letters dated 3rd April, 2nd May and 31st May, concerning Mr. E. Parsons, 11, Semilong Place, Northampton; and why Mr. Parsons has received no communication since January.

Mr. Bellenger

I very much regret the delay in this case which has been caused by certain documents having been mislaid. I have now taken steps to have the case dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Mr. Hobson

asked the Secretary of State for War why all mail addressed to 14025322 Staff-Sergeant R. G. Goldman, R.E., No. 50 Transit Camp, Italy, and No. 156 Transit Camp, Port Said, M.E.L.F. is returned; and what is his present postal address to which his relatives may write.

Mr. Bellenger

Staff-Sergeant Goldman was transferred to M.E.L.F. at the end of April. So far his posting to a unit in M.E.L.F. has not been notified to this country. The overseas command has been told to report by cable his present postal address, which will he notified to his next-of-kin.
