§ COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he will consider, before the conclusion of hostilities, the advisability of inviting competition for the design of a South African war medal previously to any such medal being issued to the country.
§ MR. WYNDHAMSuch a competition would have involved much delay. Designs have, in fact, been prepared and submitted to Her Majesty.
