Recognising The Swynnerton Roses And Other Wartime Munitions Workers

EDM number 2272 in 2008-09, proposed by Robert Flello on 11/11/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Military operations and Veterans.

That this House honours and gives thanks to the brave individuals who served in Britain's armed forces during the Second World War; acknowledges, also, the vital and often dangerous work carried out by people who worked on the home front; welcomes efforts over recent years to give official recognition to such groups; notes the fact that munitions workers, such as those at Royal Ordnance Factory, Swynnerton, have received no such formal recognition; further notes that work in munitions factories was extremely dangerous and that many workers were killed or received serious injuries which continue to affect them to this day; and therefore urges the Government to formally recognise the contribution of former munitions factory workers as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
