HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 cc1833-4
48. Sir Ian Fraser

asked the Prime Minister what arrangements have been made to enable ex-Service men and women residing in the Commonwealth and Empire and in other overseas countries to obtain British war medals now being issued.

The Prime Minister

As stated in my reply to the hon. Member on 31st May, residents overseas who are ex-members of United Kingdom Forces should apply by letter to the Headquarters of their respective Services. Issue to those who served in Colonial Forces will be arranged locally. Issue to ex-members of other British Commonwealth Forces will be a responsibility of the respective Governments concerned.

Sir I. Fraser

Will the Prime Minister make this information known in the Dominions, the Colonies and Eire?

The Prime Minister

I am quite sure that notice will be taken of this reply. If there should be anything further I will certainly arrange for it to be made known.
