§ 38. Mr. BUTCHERasked whether the-recommendations for military distinctions-made by the brigadier-generals and divisional generals serving in Mesopotamia 147 under Lieutenant-General Aylmer and subsequently under Lieutenant-General Gorringe were duly received by the Indian Government, and were forwarded to the military authorities in London; and whether steps will be taken to give effect to these recommendations?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe recommendations made by Lieutenant-General Aylmer and Lieutenant-General Gorringe have been received, but it does not follow that all recommendations made by divisional generals and brigadiers are included, as the General Officer Commanding only sends forward such names as he thinks deserving of consideration. With this reservation, the answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative.
