That this House notes the significant personal sacrifice armed forces personnel make in their service to the nation once they take the oath or affirmation of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen; acknowledges that ex-service personnel are proud to receive and wear Her Majesty's Veterans Badge, but notes that it is not awarded posthumously and it is considered by many to be insufficient recognition for the contribution veterans have made to the safety of the nation since the ending of the Second World War; and therefore calls on the Government to rescind its recent decision not to more appropriately recognise the veterans by the award of a national defence medal and instead to establish a working group to work with the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals, with a view to implementing a national defence medal as soon as possible.

That this House warmly welcomes the formation in October 2008 of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly as the successor organisation to the British-Irish Inter-Parliamentary Body, which has done a great deal since 1990 to consolidate the vastly improved relations between parliamentarians from Ireland and the UK as well as the devolved parliaments and assemblies of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man; looks forward to the forthcoming plenary session to be held in Donegal at the end of March 2009; notes that the Assembly is now an inclusive organisation following the welcome decision of the two main Unionist parties in Northern Ireland to send representatives, along with the other major parties in Northern Ireland; further notes that the St Andrews Agreement envisages an East-West parliamentary framework; believes that the Assembly now has a very credible claim as the East-West parliamentary framework and could help provide backbench scrutiny of the work of the British-Irish Council, and more generally of issues that affect the peoples of these islands; and urges the Government to take the necessary steps to formalise this position, in co-operation with the Irish government.

That this House applauds the generous gesture by the King and Government of Malaysia in the award of the Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal to British citizens for service in the Malayan Emergency; notes that Her Majesty The Queen has been graciously pleased to approve the recommendation of the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals that British citizens may accept the award; is, however, surprised that the Committee did not recommend that British citizens receiving the award should also be able to wear it; is deeply embarrassed that the Australian and New Zealand veterans of the Emergency may both receive and wear the medal; invites the Committee to reconsider the matter, bearing in mind the diminishing number of those who gave valuable service between 31st August 1957 and 12th August 1966; believes that this is a pre-eminent case for an exception to the long-standing Government policy enunciated in the written Ministerial Statement of 31st January 2006; and urges Her Majesty's Ministers to ensure that a further recommendation is made to Her Majesty, but this time one which takes full account of the generosity of a fellow Commonwealth country, the merits of the case, and the deep sense of hurt felt by British veterans, rather than being based upon a slavish observance of precedent.
