To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of adopting the unofficial Cold War Medal for UK veterans from the Cold War.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of adopting the unofficial Cold War Medal for UK veterans from the Cold War.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has no plans to adopt an unofficial medal in recognition of UK military service during the Cold War.
In the UK, the granting of official Honours and Awards is made at the behest of His Majesty, The King who is advised by the Cabinet Office led Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals. In turn, this committee is advised on matters of historic military recognition, by the independent Advisory Military Sub-Committee, rather than the MOD.
The issue of generic medallic recognition for service during the Cold War was officially considered by Sir John Holmes as part of his review of Military Medals in 2012. The Review did not recommend that a Cold War medal should be introduced.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to retrospectively assess the awards and decorations given to the agents who fought for the UK in the F section of the Special Operations Executive in World War II, in particular (1) the small number of women who received military honours,...
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to retrospectively assess the awards and decorations given to the agents who fought for the UK in the F section of the Special Operations Executive in World War II, in particular (1) the small number of women who received military honours,...
There is no doubt that the actions of the agents of F section of the Special Operations Executive were very brave, and the Government remains grateful for their service and sacrifice. Indeed, many were recognised with gallantry awards, such as the awards of the George Cross to Odette Sansom, Noor Khan, Cicely Lefort, Diana Rowden and Lilian Rolfe.
It is the long-standing policy of the UK Government, that military and civilian gallantry awards cannot be awarded retrospectively more than five years after the service or actions in question. This policy has been in place since the end of the Second World War and was approved by King George VI. Successive Governments have seen fit not to change it. It is a long-held belief that people making decisions at the time were better placed to make judgements about an individual’s actions than we can be now at a distance of many years and without information about other people’s contemporary actions for comparison.
Stolen valour involves falsely claiming military service, rank or medallic recognition with the intent to deceive. It could even involve stealing someone else’s identity.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 28 March (HL6776), why the Merchant Navy Meritorious Service medal, which is for meritorious service, has been placed in the category of "efficiency and long service".
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 28 March (HL6776), why the Merchant Navy Meritorious Service medal, which is for meritorious service, has been placed in the category of "efficiency and long service".
The Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service was placed in the category of Efficiency and Long Service Decorations and Medals by the Royal Household, alongside other awards of a similar nature, such as the Armed Forces Meritorious Service Medals.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 21 March (HL6375), whether the Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service is on a par with the fire service, ambulance service and police meritorious service medals in the Order of Wear; and if not, why.

The Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service is placed in the category of Efficiency and Long Service Decorations and Medals. It is set out in the Royal Warrant that “in the official list showing the order in which Orders, Decorations and Medals shall be worn, The Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service shall be placed immediately after the Jersey Honorary Police Medal for Long and Meritorious Service”.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether there has been any change to the inclusion of the Merchant Navy Meritorious Service medal with the ambulance service, fire service and police meritorious service medals in order of wear; if so, why this change was made; and whether the Princess Royal was informed...

Government has not made any changes to the status of the Order of Wear since it was instituted as a State Award in 2015. Any changes to the Order of Wear, which is set in the Royal Warrant, would have to be agreed and implemented by the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood.
The Awards for Valour (Protection) Bill, which was presented on 29 June 2016, is sponsored by Gareth Johnson MP. The Bill passed Second Reading in the Commons on 25 November 2016. Several amendments which narrow the scope of the Bill were adopted in Committee on 1 February 2017. Report Stage and Third Reading is now scheduled for 24 February 2017. The Bill has the full support of the Government and is therefore considered likely to progress.

I rise to oppose the Bill because medals mean something to those who have them. In the military they denote gallantry, operational duty, good service, or special occasions such as when Her Majesty the Queen grants a jubilee medal. For me, medals worn on the chest can rapidly sum up...

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to reintroduce the Territorial Decoration for Reserve Army officers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to reintroduce the Territorial Decoration for Reserve Army officers.
On 1 October 2014 the Secretary of State for Defence announced that he would like to see a Reserve Long Service medal that allows the use of post-nominals for all ranks. He has asked officials to investigate options to deliver this under the current UK Honours and Awards system, with an instruction to report back to him by the end of the year. I can confirm that this work is under way.
