DR. RUTHERPOED (Middlesex, Brentford): To ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to issue a medal for the Bechuanaland Expedition of 1884–5.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The right hon. Gentleman the Member for Dover explained to the House on 9th July, 1900‡, that there were really no active operations in this expedition that would justify the grant of a medal. I will, however, give the matter my personal consideration, though I cannot say at present whether I am likely to find grounds for differing from the conclusion already come to.
