Land Girls

EDM number 207 in 1996-97, proposed by Gerry Steinberg on 18/11/1996.

That this House is sad that the 'Land Girls', whose efforts helped to save the nation from starvation between 1940 and 1945, have never received official recognition either by medals or gratuities, even though their counterparts in Australia have recently received honours; notes furthermore, that in the foreword to Nicola Tyrer's book 'They Fought in the Fields', Her Majesty the Queen Mother says 'no matter the weather, in snow, rain, wind or sun, women all over the country worked tirelessly... their inspiring efforts earned our gratitude'; believes that this clearly highlights the injustice; and consequently calls upon the Prime Minister to remedy this unjust situation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 101 MPs.
