Don't convicted drunk drivers, shoplifters, and assailants also bring disrepute upon the Forces? Shouldn't they have their long service good conduct medals pulled too?
Bob mentioned above that what the Queen gives, she can take away. By that definition, wouldn't medals be an in-their-lifetime temporary loan, with the return spring taking effect upon death?

Section 4 covers forfeitures. As always when reading regulations (and drill manuals), note the difference between shall and may.
Nothing there about the return of any of them upon death.
