§ 25. Mr. BUTLER LLOYDasked the Secretary of State for War if he can state when the medal promised by him many months ago to the Territorials who volunteered for foreign service in 1914 will be ready; can he promise that at least the ribbon will be issued in the immediate future; and is he aware that the issuing of this ribbon would do much to stimulate Territorial recruiting?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe preparation of the riband is being taken in hand. The issue of the medal will not be commenced for some time as the preparation and issue of the War Medals must take precedence.
