<p>The Advisory Military Sub-Committee (AMSC) operates independently of the Government
but I understand that the case for medallic recognition was considered at length by
the Sub-Committee.</p><p>The AMSC concluded that, although the efforts of those involved
in the campaign could not be discounted, the case did not meet the level of risk and
rigour which is generally required for the award of a campaign medal or clasp.</p><p>The
AMSC is an advisory body which has made recommendations based on the available evidence,
including that provided by campaign groups. Its advice was provided in line with its
terms of reference and will only be looked at again if significant new evidence becomes
available. I understand that any new submissions which might have been provided have
been passed to the Sub-Committee.</p><p>This decision in no way diminishes that commitment
or the nations’ recognition of the contribution of veterans who served during these
periods and contributed to the security of the United Kingdom and its Allies.</p><p>
