§ Flight-Lieutenant Ethertonasked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange for a badge to be issued to personnel who have served in the Forces and been discharged, and who, in cases where they are ineligible for a pension are not at present entitled to any badge indicative of their services and accordingly suffer invidious and unwarranted criticism?
§ The Prime MinisterThe issue of the authorised badge is restricted to those invalided from the Naval, Military and Air Forces, and the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleet, through wounds or war disablement attributable to service since 3rd September, 1939, and I do not consider that any alteration should be made in the qualifications.
