HL Deb 25 May 1905 vol 146 cc1352-3

House in Committee (according to Order).

*THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (The Earl of DONOUGH-MORE)

My Lords, the two Amendments standing in my name have been drafted in accordance with the request made at the previous stage by the noble Lord behind me, Lord Muskerry, who pointed out that there was a certain medal which he did not think was covered by the Bill. It was certainly our object that the Bill should cover such a medal, and I beg to move these Amendments to make that clear.

Amendments moved— In Clause 1, page 1, line 6, after the word 'issued' to insert the words 'by His 'Majesty'; and in line 7, after the word 'forces' to insert the words 'or any other persons'."—(The Earl of Donoughmore.)

On Question, Amendments agreed to.

Bill re-committed to the Standing Committee; and to be printed as amended. (No. 88.)
