§ 46. Major Sir Jocelyn Lucasasked the Prime Minister when chevrons and wound stripes will be issued to those qualified; and, in view of the fact that those granted in the last war were subsequently taken away, whether he can state the intention in this respect with regard to those awarded for this war?
§ Mr. AttleeChevrons and wound stripes have been manufactured and issued to Departments up to the total demanded. Instructions for issue and wear are in course of preparation. It is the intention that the point referred to in the second part of the Question shall be considered after the cessation of hostilities.
§ Sir J. LucasShall we have a guarantee that they will be issued before they are taken away?
§ Mr. AttleeYes, Sir.
