Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Battle of the Somme: 110th Anniversary

Contribution

I will be brief. As the right hon. Member mentioned the shells, I want to put on the record our gratitude for the many women back home who made those shells—the Canary Girls—in highly dangerous work and whose skin became discoloured as a result. Does he back my campaign for those women to have a memorial at the royal arboretum?
