Written Question
Armed Forces: Medals
Monday 26th February 2024

Asked by: Gavin Williamson (Conservative - South Staffordshire)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of presenting medallic recognition to the service personnel who served on HMS Diamond while it was stationed in the Red Sea.

Answered by Andrew Murrison - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

Medallic recognition for operations is kept under continuous review by the Ministry of Defence. The case for a medal would be considered on the basis of a recommendation made by the Operational Commander to the Operations Recognition Board, which would in turn make recommendations to the Chiefs of Staff and Ministers.
