HC Deb 18 March 1968 vol 761 cc35-6W
Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider reducing the period of service required by members of the Civil Defence Corps for qualification for the Long Service Medal from 15 years to 10 years, so that volunteers will have some recognition

the number of temporary civil servants, and the total amount of salaries and wages paid for the years ended 31st December, 1951, 1962 and 1967.

Mr. Taverne

The information is follows:

of their service following Her Majesty's Government's decision to disband the corps.

Mr. Ennals

I do not think there are sufficient grounds for recommending such a major change in the rules of the Royal Warrant relating to qualifying service.
