To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December 2021 to Question 80944 on Prison Officers: Medals, whether prison officers with an accumulated five years of service employed by his Department qualify as eligible to receive the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December 2021 to Question 80944 on Prison Officers: Medals, whether prison officers with an accumulated five years of service employed by his Department qualify as eligible to receive the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal.
To qualify for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal staff must be in an eligible operational role in the public-sector prison service on 6 February 2022 and have completed 5 years operational service. The eligibility criteria does allow for operational public-sector service to be aggregated, which means that operational staff who have moved to a private-sector prison or a non-operational role for a period during their career, can include any previous operational public-sector service and aggregate it with service accumulated since they returned to their operational public-sector role.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he has plans to ensure that prison officers are recognised for their contribution through a Platinum Jubilee Medal, regardless of whether they work in a private- or publicly-run prison.

The basis upon which the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal is being awarded to prison officers is the same as for the Armed Forces and the Emergency Services. The decision about who should be eligible for the medal was made by a cross-government committee and had to reflect the eligible grades from the other services.
Medals are traditionally awarded for Royal Jubilees to recognise and reward the service and dedication of key front line uniformed services in the public sector and in particular to those who are exposed regularly to difficult, often emergency situations and who potentially risk their lives.
Official medals awarded by HM The Queen are restricted to public sector employees, in line with the existing criteria used for the award of previous Jubilee Medals.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions he has had with (a) officials in his Department and (b) Cabinet colleagues on the eligibility of prison officers who have worked in privately-run prisons to receive a Platinum Jubilee Medal in 2022.

The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal was awarded to all personnel who were in effective military service with the Volunteer Reserve Forces on 6 February 2002 and had completed five annual bounty earning training years, for which a certificate of efficiency would have been received, and who were properly enlisted on, or prior to, 7 February 1997. The annual bounty training year 2001/2002 was required to be one of the five years to count. The total of five annual bounty earning training years could be aggregated.
A former service person who believes that they may have been eligible to receive the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal is welcome to write to the Ministry of Defence to request a review of their circumstances. Medals enquiries may be made by post to: MOD Medal Office, Innsworth House, Imjin Barracks, Gloucester, GL3 1HW; or by e-mail to: dbs-medals@mod.gov.uk

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of awarding retrospective awards for exceptional feats of gallantry.
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of awarding retrospective awards for exceptional feats of gallantry.
National gallantry awards are considered by the independent George Cross Committee and recognise the bravery of those who have put themselves in danger to save, or attempt to save someone’s life. The committee makes recommendations based on the degree of risk and how aware the nominee was of the danger.
The Committee only considers nominations for actions that took place within the previous five years. This reflects a need to ensure awards are timely, can draw on the judgement and knowledge of those involved at the time and can benefit from assessment against other contemporaneous actions. The only exception to this is where it is necessary to wait for the outcome of judicial proceedings, for example an inquest. Even in those circumstances, it is generally expected that the actions meriting an award would have taken place within, or only very little beyond five years.

The Government holds the professionalism, courage and contribution of all those who have served in our Armed Forces in the very highest regard.
Sir John Holmes' independent review of the policy governing the award of military medals, which concluded in 2014, was subject to detailed discussion by the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals. Sir John Holmes and the Committee were clear that there should be no retrospection and that the medal should not be made available to those who do not meet the eligibility criteria.
As such, there are no plans to extend the eligibility criteria for the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal to veterans who served before the medal was introduced.
