To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the new Ebola medal takes precedence over jubilee medals in the order of wear.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the new Ebola medal takes precedence over jubilee medals in the order of wear.
The Jubilee Medals come ahead of the Ebola Medal for Service in West Africa in the current Order of Wear.

UK Armed Forces personnel deployed on a United Nations (UN) operation are eligible to receive the appropriate UN medal, if they meet the criteria. The UK does not usually institute a medal where the UN already has one available to UK personnel.
In terms of national recognition, Armed Forces Day provides a chance for the public to show their support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community. This includes currently serving personnel, their families, veterans and cadets. To honour those who have sadly lost their lives whilst in service, we have Remembrance Day.
The Government does not fund memorials, but all those who have lost their lives whilst in the service of our country since the end of the Second World War, are commemorated on the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will consider establishing a decoration or medal for distinguished service by military or intelligence personnel who took part in active service in the Cold War between 1951 and 1990.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will consider establishing a decoration or medal for distinguished service by military or intelligence personnel who took part in active service in the Cold War between 1951 and 1990.
It is clear that the professionalism and resolve of British and NATO forces during the Cold War years was an important factor that contributed to the collapse of the Warsaw Pact military alliance. However, it is widely recognised that this was achieved without recourse to the type of military activity for which campaign medals are generally instituted and there are no plans to introduce such an award. However, individual meritorious service or acts of bravery could be recognised through the usual UK State Honours system.
Many people leave the British Armed Forces without having been eligible for a campaign service medal. This position does not lessen our appreciation for the courage shown and sacrifices made by all our brave personnel during their Service.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many firefighters have been awarded a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many firefighters have been awarded a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in each of the last five years.
The viability of awarding firefighters for service beyond the existing 20 years is currently being investigated by my Department. There are processes which need to be followed prior to discussion with the Honours and Decorations Committee taking place but officials are progressing the issue and will be in touch with the Committee in due course.
The number of medals awarded to firefighters in each of the last five year are as follows:
2010 - 1,737
2011 - 1,465
2012 - 1,011
2013 - 1,246
2014 - 1,147
These figures do not include Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, if he will ensure that women who worked in munitions factories during World War Two receive a medal to mark their contribution to the war effort.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, if he will ensure that women who worked in munitions factories during World War Two receive a medal to mark their contribution to the war effort.
The Government fully appreciates the efforts and the often very dangerous conditions experienced by those who worked in munitions factories producing vital equipment for the armed forces that helped contribute to winning the Second World War.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has given careful consideration to possible formal recognition of the enormous contribution made by all those who manufactured munitions during the War. Given the disruption to employment in the War years and the time elapsed since, it would unfortunately be very difficult to identify all those involved. Many of companies no longer exist and the consequent lack of records for those they employed means that there would be difficulties in verifying any entitlement. It was concluded that it would not be practical to find a way to recognise the contributions of individual workers. However we are aware that an All Party Parliamentary Group on Recognition for Munitions Workers has been set up to explore ways to recognise the collective efforts of those who worked in munitions factories and we are open to working with them on any recommendations they bring forward.
