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)

My hon. Friend covers a point raised by my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Leicestershire (David Taylor), which is that the award is also made for peacekeeping. The criteria are simple; the award applies to service personnel in conflict, including in peacekeeping missions. UK troops would therefore be covered if we adopted similar criteria.
