§ Sir I. PHILIPPSasked the Secretary of State for War what is. the estimated number of 1914–15 stars that will have to be issued under the present orders; how many of these stars have already been issued; and how many are now being issued per month?
§ Mr. FORSTERApproximately, 1,900,000 will have to be issued. It has not yet been possible to begin the general issue.
