§ Mr. Bendallasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it takes 12 months for the Metropolitan police to notify and present the recipient with a medal for long service and conduct.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that there is no unnecessary delay between an officer becoming eligible for the police long service and good conduct medal and the award of the medal. If my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind, he may wish to take it up with the Commissioner.
