asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any representations have been made to him by the Australian or New Zealand Governments on the subject of the grant of a medal or decoration to Anzac troops for the services rendered during the operations in Gallipoli; and, if so, whether it is proposed that a medal shall be awarded to Colonial troops who took part in these operations?

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The whole question is now under consideration.
