Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department has taken to notify surviving D-Day veterans of their eligibility for the Légion d'Honneur; and if he will make a statement.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) supports the French in their award of the Légion d'Honneur to D-Day veterans by administering applications on their behalf. The MOD subsequently informs veterans when their application has gone forward to the French Embassy who act as the interface with the French Government whose award this is.
