LORD WILLOUGHBY DEERESBY (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether there is any regulation as to the time within which the Officers commanding Volunteer Battalions are bound to distribute long service medals to those who are entitled to receive them?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThere is no regulation as to the time within which medals must be distributed: but it is desirable that a Commanding Officer should distribute them at the earliest date on which he can reckon on a good muster of Volunteers.
