Proceeding contribution from David Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Medals (Armed Forces Personnel).
Medals (Armed Forces Personnel)
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way; I respect him and his campaign, and support it wholeheartedly. Is he not surprised, however, that the purple heart can be awarded to a person who serves with friendly forces? We have the strange situation in which US forces could be awarded a purple heart if they served under British command, yet the proposals from him and the Daily Mirror are more limited, which is interesting.
