HC Deb 03 May 1973 vol 855 cc334-5W
33. Mr. Mayhew

asked the Minister of State for Defence why he has not yet replied to the letter sent to him on 5th February 1973 by the hon. Member for Woolwich, East relating to the treatment of a Servicewoman in the WRAC.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

Following my hon. Friend's interim replies of 21st February and 27th March he wrote in substantive terms to the hon. Member yesterday about this fairly complex matter. The delay, which I regret, was due to the extensive inquiries which had to be made on a number of different aspects of the case.
