HC Deb 22 July 1931 vol 255 c1509W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make some amendment to the regulations which apply in all three service departments debarring the bestowal of posthumous awards except in the case of the Victoria Cross?

Mr. THOMAS

The practice of confining posthumous awards to the case of the Victoria Cross has been reviewed on several occasions during and since the War, and it is not considered desirable to make any change.
