WORLD WAR II MUNITIONS WORKERS

That this House acknowledges the contribution made by munitions workers to the defence of the United Kingdom in the Second World War; notes that many such workers were women conscripted under the provisions of the National Service Act 1941; considers that the contribution of munitions workers proved crucial in securing victory in 1945; regrets that that contribution has never been formally recognised; and calls on the Government to recognise the effort of former munitions workers in maintaining the security of this country.
