Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 November 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I endorse my hon. Friend’s comments. I wish my hon. Friend the Member for Newport, West well and I hope that he makes a speedy return to this House. I join my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Leicestershire (David Taylor) in paying tribute to all our armed services who bravely put their lives on the line in Iraq and Afghanistan. As he will know—the Prime Minister has spoken about this in the House—the question of recognition and the awarding of medals falls to the armed services, and they make proposals to the Ministry of Defence. Any action will then be reported to this House.
