Reply from Dr. Macnamara The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY :
"The hon. Member's proposal involves a very considerable extension of the present scope of the scheme for distributing War badges. I will take an opportunity of discussing it with my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, but further than that I am afraid that I can give no undertaking."
The bit I found interesting was this :
" War service badges which are now granted by the Admiralty to those serving in merchant vessels "
Does this refer to the HMNZ Transports badges or to a different badge ?
