HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 cc1251-2
30. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will investigate the possibility of Army personnel which served in landing craft and other ships flying the White Ensign during the war, sharing in the payment of naval prize money, together with those already qualifying in the R.N. and the R.A.F.

The Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty (Mr. John Dugdale)

I understand that it is just possible there may be a small number of soldiers who will qualify for naval prize money as a result of service identical with that of members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, and the Admiralty will be prepared at a later date to consider on their merits applications from soldiers with such service.
