Similarly, the noble Lord told me in Committee that references to “individuals or animals” in Clause 137(8)(a) are to allow for the potential consideration of the Animals in War Memorial on Park Lane, for the existence of which we must thank the late Dame Jilly Cooper. If the Home Secretary is willing to consider specifying this memorial to the animals of war, I hope she will agree from the outset to specify the memorial to the Women of World War II, which was unveiled on the 60th anniversary of VE Day by Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who served in that conflict as a teenage mechanic and driver in the Auxiliary Territorial Service.
