§ Lady Apsleyasked the Secretary of State for War whether members of the A.T.S. on duty in France prior to Dunkirk and evacuated from that country before having had six months operational service will be eligible for the 1939–43 star in the same way as are troops similarly evacuated who also may not have had the full six months operational service.
Sir J. GriģģYes, Sir. Members of the A.T.S. will be treated in the same way as the Army in general.
