HC Deb 05 December 1893 vol 19 cc476-7
MR. RANKIN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether Volunteers who have served for 20 years, part of their time as non-commissioned officers, but who by their own request have reverted to the ranks, will be eligible to receive the decoration about to be issued to non-commissioned officers?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I can only refer the hon. Member to the statement I have already made, that the details of the conditions under which the decoration will be granted to non-commissioned officers are not yet settled.
