Mr. Allen: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he has taken to recognise the service of Arctic Convoy veterans.
[199375]
Mr. Caplin: As we approach the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War the whole House will I am sure agree that we owe
all veterans, including those who served in the Arctic Convoys, our greatest respect and thanks for that service.
However and specifically, service on the convoys to Northern Russia during the Second World War has already been recognised by the
award of the Atlantic Star. The qualifying criteria for the medal, are published in Command Paper 6633 in May 1945 and Command Paper
6833 in June 1946 and are indeed quite specific.

Mr. Allen: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimates he has made of the cost to the Department of awarding a medal
for service on the Arctic convoys. [171121]
Mr. Caplin: It is not possible to determine with any certainty how many people served in Arctic waters during the Second World War,
but it is estimated that more than 95,000 Royal Navy personnel may have done so. The cost of issuing a new medal to Royal Navy
veterans alone, including staff costs and the cost of the medal itself, would be at least £14 million if all those eligible
or their next of kin applied.
