To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the eligibility criteria applied to Fire Control staff for the award of the Platinum Jubilee Medal, Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Golden Jubilee Medal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the eligibility criteria applied to Fire Control staff for the award of the Platinum Jubilee Medal, Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Golden Jubilee Medal.
The eligibility criteria for each Jubilee medal were agreed across government, in consultation with the Devolved Administrations, Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, and approved by the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals and Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In respect of the Fire and Rescue Services, eligibility was restricted to fire service personnel called to the scene of 999 response calls and who were potentially placing themselves in danger.
No further assessment has been made and there are no plans to review the criteria.
