§ Sir A. SHIRLEY BENNasked the Secretary of State for War how many time-expired men served throughout the War as national reservists; and whether, as they were told by Lord Kitchener that they would be entitled to a medal and this promise was not confirmed by subsequent Secretaries of State, what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI regret that the information asked for in the first part of the question is not available. As regards the second part, it was decided, after full consideration, not to issue a medal for home service during the War, and I cannot reopen the question.
