<p>I refer the Noble Lord to the answers I gave on 19 December 2017 (HL4126) and 3
July 2018 (HL8946). Long Service and Good Conduct (LS&GC) Medals are struck for
all Officers who were in Regular service on 29 July 2014 and who had served for 15
years from the date of attestation with good conduct. Former Heads of Service who
retired at four-star rank before 29 July 2014 are ineligible. Those who are subsequently
appointed to honorary five-star rank by Her Majesty The Queen become eligible, along
with those who retired at that rank.</p><p> </p><p>As I explained in my answer of
28 February (HL5695), some LS&GC medals were produced in error for some retired
Heads of Service. In line with all other medals, any LS&GC Medals which were erroneously
produced will not have been issued to any personnel, including those of the Royal
Navy.</p>
