    A minister has pledged to work with MPs on a campaign to award a murdered policewoman a posthumous George Medal for bravery.

    Policing minister Kit Malthouse said he would ask his officials to work with Conservative MP Bob Stewart (Beckenham) "to make sure that the right evidence is gathered" ahead of submitting a nomination for Yvonne Fletcher to receive the award.

    Ms Fletcher was killed on duty in April 1984 outside the Libyan embassy in London, where she was policing a demonstration against Colonel Gaddafi. Former colonel Mr Stewart called for her to be awarded the medal for gallantry due to her "calm, courageous demeanour while she was so grievously wounded and dying".

    Making his case to ministers during an adjournment debate in the Commons, Mr Stewart told MPs: "Yvonne's conduct exemplified the very highest standards of the Metropolitan Police Service, in particular, when she was mortally wounded she seemed to care more about others who were with her in the ambulance than herself.

    "What courage she displayed by saying to those trying to look after her that they should keep safe, stay calm - and that was within minutes of her death.

    "She did that when she must have been in the gravest of agony.

    "From my own experience of writing citations, may I suggest that a posthumous award of the George Medal could be considered despite the passage of years and mostly because of Yvonne's calm, courageous demeanour while she was so grievously wounded and dying."
