My email to David Cameron,

The Royal British Legion has voted unanimously at their AGM to support the unrestricted wearing of the Pingat Jasa Malaysia Medal (PJM). As HM the Queen is Patron of the RBL will you also join Veterans in supporting the wearing of the PJM at all formal occasions?

His answer

Dear Mr Alders,

Thank you for writing to David Cameron, I am replying on his behalf.

We recognise that the rules governing the awarding of foreign medals and decorations have been implemented inconsistently and understand the frustration of those veterans eligible for the PJM. The contribution made by those who served in Malaysia should not be forgotten. It is also important however that the rules governing these issues are not disregarded.

Mark Harper, our Shadow Minister for Veterans, has stated that a future Conservative Government would review the rules governing the awarding of foreign medals. The current regulations have been devalued such that decisions are difficult to take on an objective basis. During this review all medal issues can be considered and rules will be drafted to ensure that all medal decisions are thought through and applied consistently.

Thank you again for your email.

Yours sincerely,

David Beal
