HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 cc197-8W
164. Mr. Marlowe

asked the Secretary of State for War why no information has been provided to his family of the circumstances in which 22550037 Corporal D. V. Giles, 12th Infantry Workshop, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, met his death in Malaya.

Mr. Hare

I regret that there has been delay in passing information to the family of this soldier. This is because we have not yet received full details from Singapore. I express my sympathy with the relatives of Corporal Giles and assure my hon. and learned Friend that I am taking all practical steps to speed up the passing of information in future cases.
