Mr. Letwin: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangements he will put in place to ensure that (a) all medal
index cards are fully scanned when they are put on microfiche and (b) families have the option of receiving the originals if
they express a desire to do so. [224967]
Mr. Caplin: The Ministry of Defence, together with The National Archives, has been actively seeking to identify a suitable
institution prepared to take these cards. So far, a home for just a small part of the collection has been found. No decision on the
retention or destruction of the cards will be taken until all such avenues have been explored.
