§ 13. Lieut.-Colonel Dowerasked the Secretary of State for War whether the 1939–43 war medal will be awarded to personnel serving in the anti-aircraft defence of Great Britain who have been killed or wounded in action with the enemy?
§ Mr. A. HendersonI presume my hon. and gallant Friend is referred to the 1939– 1918 43 Star. I would ask him to await the further announcement to be made in due course.
§ Lieut.-Colonel DowerWill the hon. and learned Gentleman bear in mind that the men who have been killed or wounded in this service have served their country and given just as valuable services as those officers and men who have been on the staff and served at the bases stationed overseas?
§ Mr. HendersonThere will be no difference between us on that point.
