HC Deb 30 November 1943 vol 395 c179
17. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange that any man of good conduct discharged from the fighting services, no matter what the cause or his length of service, shall be given the King's Discharge Badge?

Sir J. Grigg

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given by the Prime Minister to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Perkins) on 22nd September.

Sir A. Knox

What possible reason can there be for refusing to give the King's Badge to every man?

Sir J. Grigg

That seems to be an appropriate question to ask in the course of the Debate to which the Prime Minister referred in his answer.
