§ Mr. TURTONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the men of the mercantile marine have not yet received the 1914–15 star; and when it is proposed that this honour should be given?
§ Mr. LONGI assume that my hon. Friend refers to men of the mercantile marine who served under special naval engagements and have the requisite service entitling them to the 1914–15 star. The stars are now being engraved; and on completion of this work—which it is hoped will not be later than July—the distribution will be commenced.
