HC Deb 22 February 1915 vol 70 c28
64. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked what steps have been taken by the War Office to supply badges to men working for private firms on contracts from his Department who are consequently requested not to enlist?

Mr. BAKER

The instructions as to the issue of these badges are in course of preparation, and will be circulated to those concerned as soon as possible.

Mr. ROWLANDS

What is meant by "as soon as possible"? Is the hon. Gentleman aware that in cases of men working side by side, some of the men have got the badges, while others equally entitled have not yet received them?

Mr. BAKER

Yes, Sir; I hope it will be very soon.
