§ 35. Major COHENasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the dissatisfaction that prevails amongst the few recipients of the Victory Medal with regard to its tawdriness and appearance; and whether, in view of the fact that comparatively few have as yet been issued, future issues of this medal will be improved upon?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSON (Parliamentary Secretary, War Office)My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my answer on 7th December in reply to a question put by the hon. Member for Aberdare (Mr. Stanton). I would add that the question of improving the finish of the Victory Medal is now receiving further consideration, and a statement on the subject will be made as soon as possible.
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONNo, Sir; I am not able to answer that without notice.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINMay I ask where it is proposed to make these Victory Medals. Has the right hon. Gentleman's Department ever been able to turn out anything artistic?
Lieut.-Colonel BUCKLEYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is great disappointment with the Mons Star, and will he see that the General Service Medal is a better medal than either the Victory Medal or the Mons Star?
