§ 48. Colonel LOCKWOODasked the Prime Minister when the list of special rewards to officers concerned in the evacuation of Gallipoli, which he foreshadowed on 10th January, will be announced; and whether, in view of the delay which has occurred, he will arrange that any promotions which may be granted shall be antedated to 1st January, in order that the officers concerned may not be placed at a disadvantage as compared with those who were rewarded on the strength of Lord French's and Sir Ian Hamilton's recent dispatches?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI hope that the list may be published in the course of next week. Any promotions which may be given as special rewards will, under arrangements already made, bear date 1st January.
