answer text <p>Ministry of Defence (MOD) civilian personnel are not eligible for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal (QPJM), in keeping with long standing precedent within Defence for Jubilee medals that they are only awarded to members of the Armed Forces and Adult Cadet Volunteers meeting the requisite criteria. As the MOD Guard Service and 'other officials' are civilians, they do not meet the requisite criteria. However, as emergency service personnel are an eligible group for the QPJM, there are some limited exceptions in cases where MOD civilian personnel meet the definition of being part of an emergency service. For this reason, the Northern Ireland Security Guard Service are eligible.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is working with Qatar to support their delivery of a safe, secure and successful FIFA World Cup 2022. The total cost to the MOD of this support will be up to £800,000. This will complement existing MOD activity with Qatar, with whom the UK has a long-standing defence relationship - in particular through the UK-Qatar Joint Typhoon Squadron, which will support Qatar's air security operations during World Cup 2022. The Joint Typhoon Squadron was established to provide the Qatar Emiri Air Force with bespoke support and training, following their purchase of 24 Typhoon from BAES. This, along with the Joint Hawk Training Squadron, also supports RAF pilot development and is part of a wider package of contracts with the Qatar Armed Forces collectively worth in excess of £6 billion and which sustains thousands of jobs in the UK.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is clear that having Sweden and Finland in the Alliance will increase our shared security. Our solidarity declarations signed with Sweden and Finland earlier this month by the Prime Minister demonstrate our steadfast and unequivocal commitment to both countries during their NATO membership process and beyond. At this time more than any, it is key we reinforce the unity of the Alliance. The UK hopes accession talks reach a rapid conclusion, to integrate Sweden and Finland into the Alliance quickly, and we hope that Sweden and Finland will attend next month's Madrid Summit as NATO Invitees.</p><p>The UK values its close alliance with Turkey as an integral part of NATO, we are clear that the strength of NATO as a whole is best served by facilitating the accession of Sweden and Finland as soon as possible, while addressing Turkey's valid security concerns. The UK is clear that Turkey has a right to defend itself against terrorism and we regularly discuss these matters and other matters of NATO importance with Turkey. We continue to discuss the Finnish and Swedish applications with NATO Allies, including Turkey. The Secretary of State for Defence has engaged directly with his Turkish opposite number and plans to meet him for further discussions in the near future.</p>
