§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for War whether service in the present war is reckoned towards the award of the Territorial Decoration to officers called to the Colours from the Territorial Army Reserve of Officers in 1939 and to officers who, having been 2265W compulsorily superannuated from the Territorial Army Reserve of Officers before 1939, rejoined the colours by volunteering for service in the Officers' Emergency Reserve in that year, respectively.
Sir J. GrigggOfficers who are called to the colours from the Territorial Army Reserve of Officers are allowed to reckon their service from the date of embodiment as qualifying service towards the award of the Territorial Efficiency Decoration on the same terms as officers on the active list of the Territorial Army. In fact, it counts double. An officer who had relinquished his Territorial Army Commission and volunteered for service in the Officers' Emergency Reserve is not so entitled.
