HC Deb 10 March 1948 vol 448 cc161-2W
Mr. Price-White

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give authority for officers of the Royal Army Chaplains Department who are posted to battalions of the Royal Welch Fusiliers to wear the traditional flash of the regiment

Mr. Shinwell

It is not the custom to allow personnel of a regiment or corps to wear a distinction which has been specifically awarded to another regiment or corps, and in no instance has such authority been granted. I regret, therefore, that the hon. Member's suggestion cannot be accepted.
