HC Deb 22 April 1920 vol 128 c541
26. Viscount CURZON

asked the Prime Minister whether Rear-Admiral T. W. Kemp was recently mentioned in despatches for his services in North Russia; whether the services of military officers in this area similarly mentioned have been recognised very fully; and, if so, whether it is proposed to recognise the services of Admiral Kemp?

Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)

Rear-Admiral Kemp was mentioned in General Poole's despatches, and his war services have been recognised by the following awards:—

C.B. (Military) 3rd June, 1917.
C.M.G 3rd June, 1918.

The services of military officers in this area were recognised on the same scale as that which prevailed in other theatres of war.

Sir E. CARSON

Is it not very much to be deprecated asking for honours and recognition through the medium of this House?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I quite agree with my hon. and learned Friend, but I understood that the object of this question was to find out whether this particular army was treated in the same way as the others.
