To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Earl Howe on 3 and 11 July (HL8946 and HL9251), whether honorary 5 star officers who were listed on the active list but not in regular service on 29 July 2014 were issued with long service and good conduct medals; and whether 4 star former heads of service who were listed on the active list but not in regular service on 29 July 2014 were not issued with long service and good conduct medals.

answer text

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. 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.
