PC Nicola Hughes was killed in 2012 alongside fellow PC Fiona Bone in a gun and grenade ambush while on duty in Tameside
The father of a police officer murdered while on duty in Tameside has urged the government to award posthumous medals to emergency workers killed in the line of duty.
On Saturday, Mr Hughes told BBC One’s Breakfast programme: “We’ve got the full backing of the Labour Party, we’ve got the full backing of the Welsh Government, what we’re asking for now , the Government, the Home Office, now to pick it up and finish it off if you like. On whether he has asked for a meeting with the Home Office, he said: “We’ve had conversations, we’ve had assurances that it is a Government priority for this year and then my next step now is to ask for that meeting and say, let’s have a look at this priority.
But the federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, adds that it is being driven forward by Mr Hughes.
