§ General Sir IVOR PHILIPPSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any decision has yet been come to regarding the alteration of the Rules under which the Territorial long-service medal and the Territorial officers' decoration are granted, so as to enable those who have served during the present War and who were members of the Territorial Force or the old Volunteers or Yeomanry before the War may be allowed to count six months' home mobilised service or three months' foreign service as the equivalent of one year in the qualifying period required for the grant of these distinctions?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThis matter is still under consideration, and I regret that no decision has yet been reached regarding the alteration of the Regulations.
