HC Deb 19 April 1921 vol 140 cc1679-80
4. Mr. ROYCE

asked the Secretary of State for War, seeing that ribbons were issued before the recipients received their victory and other medals, whether he is prepared to consider the issue of a ribbon to those entitled to a home service medal at an early date?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

The question of the award of a medal to those who rendered service with the military forces at home during the War is at present receiving further consideration, and no ribbon can be issued until a decision has been reached as regards the medal.
