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.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will review the decision not to permit close relatives of deceased members of the Women’s Land Army to apply for and receive the Women’s Land Army and Women’s Timber Corps commemorative badge on their behalf.
The Women’s Land Army and Women’s Timber Corps Scheme, announced to Parliament on 6 December 2007, recognises the women who served in the Land Army and Timber Corps during the Second World War making a critical contribution to the war effort.
The Scheme was designed so that medals could be worn by surviving veterans and the families of deceased veterans as a visible reminder of the significant role these women played in the war effort.
Applications are welcome from family members for posthumous awards for those veterans who died on or after 6 December 2007 (the opening of the Scheme).
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has had discussions with UK Sport and the British Olympic Association on the process for reviewing medal allocations in cases where athletes were retrospectively found to be ineligible under World Athletics regulations.

Any such representations on this topic would be for the relevant governing body to make, as the domestic member of the international federation.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made in implementing the Injury on Duty Award Scheme.
I have met with those leading the campaign for a new award and I am working on proposals. Ultimately, any official award is a gift from the Government on behalf of His Majesty The King.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has recently reviewed the eligibility of personnel supporting Operation Interflex for the Wider Service Medal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has recently reviewed the eligibility of personnel supporting Operation Interflex for the Wider Service Medal.
Eligibility for the Wider Service Medal (WSM) in relation to Operation INTERFLEX was last reviewed by the Operational Recognition Board (ORB) on 20 November 2025. The Board recognises the challenges of prolonged separation for personnel serving on Operation INTERFLEX and Defence continues to support those affected. While this was considered during recent deliberations, prolonged separation alone does not qualify personnel for the WSM.
UK-based military operations, including Operation INTERFLEX, are eligible for WSM consideration if accompanied by a compelling Operational Impact Statement (OIS). Although several OISs have been submitted, none have yet met the criteria for eligibility. Nevertheless, UK-based activities that deliver significant operational effect may be considered in future reviews.
There are no plans to update WSM eligibility guidance at this time. The current criteria already provide flexibility for UK-based operations to be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the ORB remains open to recommending the WSM for such operations in the future.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of prolonged deployment away from home locations on military and civilian personnel serving on Operation Interflex; and whether this will be considered in future medallic recognition decisions.

My Lords, as the noble Baroness, Lady Fox, said, this amendment focuses on the recording of ethnicity in police data—not the sensitive, balanced issue of when to publish. I rather agree with what I understood her remarks to be about that: it is probably best left in operational police hands,...

As we are in Committee, I welcome the noble Baroness’s comments on this. The 18-category classification is the gold standard of identification. In practice, a police officer may have a conversation with a suspect. Reality needs to be injected with a bit of common sense. If an individual does not...

I am grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Cash. At the police level—at the level of arrest—it has to be some version of self-identification. The police need to ask—and, if necessary, have the conversation—but it cannot be that the police observe, decide and adjudicate. That is not viable. The noble...
