HC Deb 02 September 1880 vol 256 c1048
MR. SERJEANT SIMON

asked the Secretary of State for War, Why the distribution of the medal promised to the officers and men of the Perak Expedition has been so long delayed; and, if he can state when the distribution is likely to take place?

MR. CHILDERS

Sir, in reply to my hon. and learned Friend, I have to state that the distribution of the Perak modal has already commenced, and will be carried out as rapidly as the names can be engraved on the medals.
