Armed Forces: Medals
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress is being made in introducing a United Kingdom National Defence Medal.
- Answer
-
There are currently no plans to introduce a National Defence Medal. Nevertheless, the Government are undertaking a review of the rules governing the awarding of military medals in line with their commitment in the Programme for Government. The review is currently with the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister for final evaluation and I hope that an announcement of the conclusions of the review will be made shortly after Easter.
