§ MR. H. S. WRIGHT (Nottingham, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state what is the reason for the delay in the issue of the decoration to Volunteer non-commissioned officers; and whether he can give any definite information as to the date when the same will be ready for distribution?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANMuch consideration has been given to the question of the conditions and character of this decoration, and I hope to state to-morrow the conclusions at which I have arrived.
