§ Mr. Chamberlainasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether a deprivation, with later restoration, of a leading seaman's good conduct badges renders him ineligible for rejoining the R.N. when he requires only 4½ years' further service to entitle him to a pension.
52W
Mr. DugdaleNo, Sir. Deprivation, with later restoration, of good conduct badges, does not render a man ineligible to rejoin provided that the deprivation of good conduct badges did not carry with it a character assessment below "Good."
