MR. TAYLOR (Norfolk, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the decoration for long service will be given to Volunteer non-commissioned officers (otherwise qualified) who may have retired, or will it be confined to those now serving?

* THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN, Stirling, &c.)

It is not proposed to confine this decoration to those now serving.

MR. TAYLOR

Will the non-commissioned officers include corporals?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Yes, Sir.
