A Whitehall committee which has repeatedly refused medals to veterans will be reviewed under the next Labour government.
Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged to get the armed forces "the recognition they deserve" and will review a process which has forced heroes of the Cold War, Afghanistan, and Bomber Command to fight for a gong.
The Advisory Military Sub Committee is supposed to be independent, but earlier this year the Mirror found it had accepted "lines to take" from the Ministry of Defence over fears about possible compensation claims linked to medallic recognition.
