HC Deb 09 March 1871 vol 204 c1678
MR. KINNAIRD

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, When the North West Frontier Medals of the 81st Regiment are likely to be given, and what has caused the long delay in their distribution?

MR. GRANT DUFF

The medals about which my hon. Friend asks were sent to the War Office for distribution to the 81st Foot on the 7th of March. The delay has arisen partly at the Mint, partly with the contractor who mounts the medals.
