HC Deb 03 December 1969 vol 792 c291W
Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why parents of a British soldier who dies overseas are prevented from knowing the circumstances of his death when his wife and next of kin is a foreigner.

Mr. Hattersley

The hon. Member is mistaken: in these circumstances a Serviceman's parents will be given a broad statement of the circumstances of his death on request.
