§ 29. Mr. Molsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will confer upon recipients of the Military Medal in the four years' war the grant of an additional 6d. per day and of an additional 1s. per day in the case of men disabled in winning the decoration, which has been granted to winners of the Military Medal in the war of 1939–45.
§ Mr. BellengerI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 26th November to the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Ely (Major Legge-Bourke), of which I am sending him a copy. The arrangements for those awarded the Military Medal in the late war are that they may receive an addition to their pension of 6d. a day or a gratuity of £20 if they leave the Army without a pension. There is no provision for 1s. a day if they are disabled in winning the decoration.
