HC Deb 29 March 1945 vol 409 cc1526-7
38. Mr. Messer

asked the Minister of Health if members of the London Ambulance Service will be entitled to wear war service chevrons in view of the fact that under the Civil Defence (Employment), No. 2, Order, 1940, they were enrolled as C.D. workers.

Mr. Willink

As I indicated in reply to my hon. Friend on 2nd November last, members of the London Ambulance Service are entitled to wear war service chevrons if they have in fact been enrolled as whole-time Civil Defence workers. The order cited by my hon. Friend, which required men employed in certain specified services to continue in their employment until released, did not provide for enrolment, its application to any particular person being a matter for decision by the courts.
