§ 45. Sir R. Clarryasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that some honourable recognition, such as a medal or diploma, is now being awarded in Russia and certain other countries for meritorious work on war production; and whether he will consider inaugurating similar awards to both organisations or individuals for efficiency and energy in war work in this country?
§ The Deputy Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)I am aware of the practice elsewhere; the suggestion made by my hon. Friend has been carefully considered, but it has been decided that a wider use of the awards already instituted would be more suitable, in this country, than the creation of new distinctions.
§ Captain C. S. TaylorIs it not a fact that those who do not contribute satisfactorily to the war effort in Russia are subject to the death penalty?
§ Mr. G. GriffithsYou answer. You know everything.
