§ 109. Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many nationals of Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and France, known to have aided escaping British Service men during the enemy occupation of their countries, have been awarded British decorations; how many have received them; and from whom and in what manner they were handed over.
§ Mr. MayhewA very considerable number of awards have been made, but it would not be in accordance with public policy to give exact details. The awards are normally presented by His Majesty's representatives in the countries concerned. It would not be possible to state precisely how many awards had been presented at any particular date, or to which individuals.
