Mr. AMERY

Payment of the final distribution of prize money will begin before the end of the current month. The method of distribution will be the same as in the first distribution, except that payments to the Fleet and to demobilised officers and men will take place at the same time. The amount of a share is not yet known.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Can the hon. Gentleman give us a date?

Mr. AMERY

Yes; before the and of the month.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

That was the answer given on the last occasion. What I want to know is the actual day.
