§ MR. H. H. MARKS (Kent, Thanet)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether a Volunteer not yet qualified for the long-service medal, and who has enlisted in the Territorial Army, will be entitled to count his service in the Territorial Army in addition to his service in the Volunteer force in applying hereafter for the medal.
§ MR. ACLANDThe various questions involved in the mode of reckoning service towards a long service medal have not all been finally settled, and I am not, therefore, in a position at the present moment to make any definite statement, but I can tell the hon. Member that the service which a member of the Territorial Forces has previously rendered in the Volunteers will certainly be taken into account in reckoning his eligibility for the long-service medal.
