HC Deb 12 April 1889 vol 335 cc370-1
MR. GROTRIAN (Hull, E.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty when the medals for the campaign in Burmah of 1885 will be awarded to the officers and men of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines who participated in it; and whether he will explain the delay in issuing them?

*LORD G. HAMILTON

The issue of these medals is dependent on their being received from the Government of India; but I understand that they will be supplied shortly, when immediate steps will be taken for their distribution.
