§ 28. Sir B. FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give a date on which the clasps awarded to the Royal Navy (A.O. 2051, C.W. 1654, August, 1920) and sanctioned by His Majesty will be given; and what is the cause a the delay of over two years?
§ Commander EYRES-MONSELLI regret I am not in a position to add anything to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for South Battersea on the 13th December last.
§ Sir B. FALLEIs the hon. Gentleman aware that that answer is not very satisfactory? Is it the fact that the question of Army clasps is standing in the way? If so, is he aware that the clasps for the Navy have been approved, while those for the Army have not even been considered? That being so, will the hon. Gentleman reconsider the question?
§ Commander EYRES-MONSELLI am afraid I am only in a position to give the same unsatisfactory answer.
