Motion Text
That this House recognises the enormous contribution to the war effort made by the Women of Steel who played such a valuable role in the Second World War carrying out crucial jobs in South Yorkshire's steel and engineering industries producing vital parts for planes, tanks and bullets; welcomes four representatives of the Women of Steel to Parliament on 13 January; notes they are to meet the Minister for Veterans and to visit No. 10 Downing Street; and hopes that as a result of the campaign led by The Star newspaper the Government will formally recognise their contribution at a national level.
