Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton corrected the Commons record on Topical Questions
The words were spoken in the Commons on 27 June 2016. The correction was made by letter from Mark Lancaster, and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 28 June 2016. The figure 200 in the original became 100 in the correction, lower by 100. Altogether 2 words differ between the two versions.
The question

I have many constituents who were awarded the Légion d’Honneur by the French authorities and who notified the Ministry of Defence more than a year ago, but have still not received their medals. Will the Minister look at that urgently?

Gentleman will be aware that there was a review. It is fair to say that the French authorities have simply been overwhelmed by the number of applications, but we have a system in place now whereby 100 are sent each week to the French. Of the original applications that were made, I understand that all have now been awarded. |
