HC Deb 09 October 1941 vol 374 cc1137-8W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether any further consideration has been given to the different awards given to commissioned and non-commis- sioned officers for acts of similar merit, with a view to abolishing the class distinction?

Sir A. Sinclair

Yes, Sir, the present system of awards involves no class distinction but I considered carefully the case for changing it. I found, however, that there was no demand for such a change from the officers and airmen of the Royal Air Force.
