Defence (Veterans Lapel Badge) Bill 2017

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Creates a new Veterans Lapel Badge to recognise former members of the Army, Air Corps, Naval Service and Reserve Defence Forces. It would let the Minister for Defence set the badge’s design and decide who receives it, with the badge intended to be worn on formal occasions. The measure matters because it gives a public sign of service and appreciation for people who served in the Defence Forces.
