HC Deb 03 July 1919 vol 117 c1143
24. Captain MARTIN

asked if the special constables throughout the country may be placed upon an equality with those in the Metropolitan area and the same recognition given to them as is proposed for those who have undertaken duties in the London area?

Mr. SHORTT

His Majesty has sanctioned the issue of a special constabulary medal for which county and borough special constables will be eligible on the same footing as those of the Metropolis. The conditions governing the award will be announced very shortly.
