§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the President of the Board of Education whether the Government proposes to issue a national peace medallion for distribution to school children; and, if so, whether arrangements could be made for it to be struck by the hundred thousand and sold at cost price to the local education authorities who might wish for them?
§ Mr. FISHERI will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind, but I have no evidence of a general desire on the part of local education authorities for the provision of such medals. I understand that it would not be practicable for medals for this purpose to be struck by the Royal Mint, the resources of which are already taxed to the uttermost.
