The Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals Committee (the “HD Committee”) is re-establishing the Advisory Military Sub-Committee, with an independent chair, to examine historic military medals claims. Any recommendation from that Sub-Committee will then go back to the HD Committee to advise Her Majesty the Queen. The Sub-Committee is expected to start work in 2019. The Sub-Committee has not been asked to re-consider the issue of a medal for Bomber Command; but it will be open to the Sub-Committee to review historic claims as it sees fit.</p><p><strong><em><br> </em></strong></p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 13/11/2018 13:46:57 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
