§ SIR C. CAMERONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of Volunteers who have served more than 20 years, but whose service has not been continuous and does not come within paragraph 6 of the Army Order relating to the grant of a medal; and whether he can see his way to grant such medals in cases where it can be proved that there has been a service of over 20 years, though not continuous?
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANA Circular is about to be issued which will allow, under certain specified circumstances, a break in the continuity of service.
§ *MR. TOMLINSON (Preston)May I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman will reconsider the question of granting decorations to Volunteers whose service, though sufficient and continuous, expired before the end of last year?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI have answered several questions on that subject. I do not see my way to accede to that proposal.
