Afghanistan: Medals
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the number of personnel who have served on deployments to Afghanistan who will not qualify for the diamond jubilee medal.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 20 February 2012]: I have made no such assessment. Service personnel who deployed to Afghanistan are eligible to receive the operational service medal. The Queen's diamond jubilee medal is a commemorative medal and is awarded to all members of the armed forces who have served for five years or more and were in service on 6 February 2012, regardless of whether they have undertaken an operational deployment.
