HC Deb 24 November 1983 vol 49 c238W
Q57. Mr. Cormack

asked the Prime Minister if Her Majesty's Government will introduce legislation to prohibit the sale of exact replicas of medals such as the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.

Mr. Biffen

I have been asked to reply.

I do not believe that such legislation is necessary. The Army and Air Force Acts 1955 make it an offence to wear medals to which the individual is not entitled to or to wear replicas so as to deceive.
