§ Mr. MACMASTERasked the Secretary of State for War when the plaques and accompanying scrolls commemorative of those who have fallen in the War will be issued; whether they may well be issued now in respect of those, at least, who fell 1779W during the first three years of the War; and what has been the cause of the delay in such issue?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for From on the 17th instant, to the effect that it is impossible at present to indicate a definite date. Progress is being made with the officers' scrolls, about 6,000 names being now ready for engraving. As regards other than commissioned ranks, I am afraid that very little progress is possible at present, for the reasons given in my previous answer already referred to.
