Decorations and Honours (Distinctions Between Ranks)

HC Deb 25 July 1969 vol 787 cc503-4W

Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of Stae for Defence what progress has been made in his consultations about removing distinctions between ranks in eligibility for decorations and honours.

Mr. Hattersley

This matter remains under consideration. The issues raised by my hon. Friend's question are far from simple and not exclusively my responsibility.
