HC Deb 01 July 1914 vol 64 c336
2. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked whether there is any prize money due to the men who served in the last commission of His Majesty's ship "Fox;" if so, when this money will be distributed; will he say if medals are under consideration; and, if so, when they will be given?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The question of a grant in lieu of prize money is under consideration. With regard to the question of a medal, I can add nothing to the statement made by my right hon. Friend on Monday last to the effect that a medal is being struck, except to say that it will shortly be available for distribution.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Will the right hon. Gentleman say what he is prepared to do in lieu of prize money?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Oh, yes; the grants of prize money involve a considerable correspondence with two other Departments, and that is proceeding.
