§ 19. Major C. S. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for War whether officers who have been awarded either the Territorial Decoration or the Territorial Efficiency Decoration are entitled to any further awards in the form of a bar to these decorations for continued long service.
§ The Secretary of State for War (Sir James Grigg)No, Sir. The Warrant makes no provision for any such further awards.
§ Major TaylorIs it a fact that the regulations affecting officers and those affecting other ranks are different; and if they are different, would my right hon. Friend consider bringing them into line?
Sir J. GriģģI did not realise that they were different. I will certainly look into the matter again, but I cannot promise that this particular question will occupy a very high place on the large list of questions I have to consider.
§ 46. Mr. Hewlettasked the Prime Minister whether, before the Debate on the grant of awards for service in this war, he will issue a White Paper setting out the proposals affecting all branches of the nation which it is desired to distinguish.
