Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if his Department will reassess the potential merits of turning Operation Cabrit into a medal awarding operational deployment.

Operation CABRIT, like all operations, is kept under continuous review for medallic recognition and, if the situation was assessed to have changed, the case for medallic recognition could be made by the operational commander for review by the Permanent Joint Headquarters-led Operations Recognition Board. They would in turn make any recommendations through the Chiefs of Staff to Defence Ministers.
