§ 45. Mr. HOGGEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that men discharged from the Army are not all entitled to the silver badge; that those who are not have no recognition of any kind; and whether, if the badge cannot or should not be given all round, he can see his way to provide some recognition of men who have served, so that they may have some form of protection?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 1st November to the hon. Member for the College Division of Glasgow.
§ Mr. HOGGECan my hon. Friend take into consideration that if these men cannot have a silver badge they should be given a bronze badge which would indicate the fact that they had seen service in the Army, though not entitled to the silver badge?
§ Mr. FORSTERI do not think we can give a badge to everyone now serving in the Army. I think the silver badge carries us as far as we can go at the present time.
