This included a review of the case for some form of National Defence Medal, to recognise all military service. Work on this has begun, but – as Sir John noted in his report of July 2012 – the National Defence Medal is an issue of broad national significance which would require a broad political and public consensus and consideration by the government as a whole, in consultation with other political parties and concerned organisations.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 23/06/2014 16:30:38 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
