If he will extend eligibility for the Elizabeth Emblem award to all emergency service workers who are severely injured and medically retired from the service.

Reply

The Government recognises the invaluable contribution of emergency service workers to the people of the United Kingdom. The Elizabeth Emblem recognises the sacrifices made by public servants who have lost their lives as a result of their duty within the honours system. The Emblem is awarded to the next-of-kin of public servants who have died in public service since 1948 and who were employed in a role based on the source of a commission on behalf of, or formally funded by, an eligible body. Full details on the award, how to apply and who is eligible are available on GOV.UK. There are currently no plans to extend eligibility.
