§ Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when his Department expects to complete the preparation of the Entitlement Appeal (reference Blackpool M2/418945) on behalf of Mr. George McDonald, late of the Royal Artillery, who is now living at 314/15 Barton Road, Artarmon, New South Wales, 2064, Australia, and whose appeal dates from 29th May 1975.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisThe statement of case will be completed within the next four weeks. I am writing to the hon. and gallant Member about the reason for the delay. In brief, it arises from the fact that the claim is in respect of seven conditions and that my Department has had to seek information from six different hospitals in Australia.
