§ MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he will say whether those Volunteers who have exchanged from military to naval Volunteer corps will be allowed to count their former service towards the period of service which entitles them to a Volunteer long service medal.
(Answered by Mr. Pretyman.) No long service medal has been instituted for the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, and it is therefore premature to consider whether service in any other force should be taken into consideration; but the point raised in the hon. Member's Question will not be lost sight of.
