Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Anne Main (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 11 December 2006 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Arctic Star

Question
Of course, we should recognise injustices in terms of campaign medals. Will the Minister consider rectifying a similar injustice in respect of those in Bomber Command who have not received a medal for their participation?
Answer

They did receive an operational medal for what they did. I want to put on record my recognition of the courage, perseverance and professionalism that they showed, but I cannot agree to what the hon. Lady is requesting.
