§ Mr. Murrayasked the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he is taking to advise the abolition of distinction between awards of gallantry for officers and other ranks in Her Majesty's Forces.
§ Mr. ReynoldsA number of gallantry awards, including the V.C. and G.C., are already made without distinction of rank. I have no proposals in mind to alter the arrangements for military awards, but would be prepared to consider any representation by my hon. Friend or other hon. Members.
