- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department plans to recognise the contribution of emergency service workers who have been severely injured.
- Answer
-
The government recognises the invaluable contribution of emergency service workers to the people of the United Kingdom. Those that lose their lives as a result of their duties and their next-of kin are now rightly honoured with the award of the Elizabeth Emblem.
The Government is happy to consider the case for any new medal or award, subject to comprehensive assessment across relevant departments.
Ultimately, advice on new awards sit with the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decoration and Medals, which provides recommendations to His Majesty.
