§ 28. Mr. HURDasked the Secretary for War whether he has observed that the Canadian Government is now issuing a silver Cross of Sacrifice to widows and mothers of Canadians killed at the front; and whether he can now devise means of removing the delay in the issue of similar memorials to the relatives of British soldiers who have fallen in the War?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe reasons for the unavoidable delay in the issue of the plaque and scroll were fully explained in the answer given to my hon. Friend on the 17th February. My hon. Friend may rest assured that the work is being expedited 208 as rapidly as circumstances permit, but the pressure of work in record offices is very great at present.
§ Mr. CHURCHILLOh, yes.
