§ 123. Major Beamishasked the Secretary of State for War how many recommendations for awards for outstanding gallantry or devotion to duty by prisoners of war in Japanese hands have been submitted; on what basis these recommendations were called for; whether they cover all Far Eastern territories that were in Japanese occupation, including Formosa and Japan; and what awards have been made.
§ Mr. LawsonI am afraid that the information asked for is not immediately available. Recommendations are being obtained on the basis of all Far Eastern territories, including Formosa and Japan. I will have the information extracted however, and send the hon. and gallant Member a written reply as soon as possible.
