To ask His Majesty's Government for what reasons they decided to institute the Bomber Command Clasp.
Baroness Goldie
Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip), The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence
Following Sir John Holmes' independent Medal Review in 2012, the Bomber Command Clasp to the 1939-45 Star was introduced for aircrew who served in Bomber Command. Sir John concluded that Bomber Command had been treated inconsistently with those who served in the Battle of Britain, and his recommendation of the award of a clasp to Bomber Command air crew brought them into line with Fighter Command veterans, who were awarded a Battle of Britain clasp to the 1939-45 Star.
