HC Deb 31 January 1918 vol 101 c1738
45. Mr. G. LAMBERT

asked the Prime Minister whether he will recommend that some decoration or reward should be given to merchant officers and seamen who have been torpedoed more than once while on duty, and who are still carrying on despite the submarine menace?

Sir ALBERT STANLEI

I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the answer given to the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydvil on 28th January. The suggestion now:made with iegard to officers and seamen who have been torpedoed more than once will be borne in mind.

Mr. LAMBERT

When will the decision be arrived at in order that these men who have displayed this I1igh form of courage shall be recognised?

Sir A. STANLEY

I hope without delay.

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

Will "tor-pedoed" be extended to include "mined"?
