To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress is being made in introducing a United Kingdom National Defence Medal.
Lord Astor of Hever
Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip), The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
There are currently no plans to introduce a National Defence Medal.
Nevertheless, the Government are undertaking a review of the rules governing the awarding of military medals in line with their commitment in the Programme for Government. The review is currently with the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister for final evaluation and I hope that an announcement of the conclusions of the review will be made shortly after Easter.

So are there no plans, or will the review decide, which is it?
perhaps this document should be read before this review is given any credibility:
