Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Queen's Diamond Jubilee
In 2002, a golden jubilee medal was struck for the armed forces and other uniformed services. The qualification period for it was five years before 2002. If similar criteria were used for the diamond jubilee medal, those serving between 2002 and 2007 would be disfranchised. Paradoxically, that is a period in which our armed forces have been engaged in two major theatres of war. In setting his criteria—a difficult task—will the Minister bear those people in mind to ensure that their contribution and service to Her Majesty the Queen are properly recognised?
