42. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Supply the source of supply of the ribbon for the medals of the three Forces; how much comes from foreign countries; and from which countries.

Mr. Wilmot

All medal ribbon is normally produced in this country, but a small amount was ordered abroad by local Army commands.

Sir W. Smithers

Is it not a fact that some of the war medal ribbon was made in Germany?

Mr. Wilmot

A small amount was ordered abroad, including Germany, by the local Army commander.
