Today, Torbay MP Kevin Foster questioned Ministry of Defence Ministers about the overdue Legion d’Honneur awards for 3 gallant Torbay Normandy Veterans.

Kevin reminded the Minister that these awards were now long overdue, and were particularly urgent given the ages of our wonderful and brave veterans.

The Minister replied that he regarded this matter as a priority and that the awards would be expedited swiftly in cooperation with the Government of France.

Kevin will continue to pursue this matter vigorously until our 3 brave Normandy Veterans have been recognised.
