§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the introduction of a new award for personal bravery in wartime, to civilians in air-raids, to hospital and munition workers, and to those engaged in civil defence, apart from the more general decorations for distinguished service?
§ The Prime MinisterThe answer to my hon. Friend's Question is in the negative. I do not think there is any need for the institution of a new civil award for personal bravery in addition to those already available, which include the medals of the Order of the British Empire and appointment to the Order, as well as the Albert and Edward Medals and the King's Police Medal.
