HC Deb 17 October 1918 vol 110 cc335-6W
Mr. PETO

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has now decided to issue torpedo badges in a distinct form suitable for officers of the Merchant Service; and whether officers and men of the Merchant Service will be authorised to wear the same chevrons as are issued to the Navy?

Sir A. STANLEY

I am arranging for the issue of a torpedo badge of a distinctive colour in the case of officers. The question of chevrons is being considered by the Departments concerned, and I hope to be able to inform the hon. Member of the result shortly.
