Munitions Workers In The World Wars (EDM2546)

Munitions Workers In The World Wars

EDM number 2546 in 2010-12, proposed by Huw Irranca-Davies on 14/12/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Military operations and Veterans.

That this House commends all those who served in Royal Ordnance factories and privately-owned munitions factories across the UK during the First and Second World Wars; honours their hard work and dedication manufacturing shells and armaments for use on the front line; appreciates that to work as a munitioneer was a highly dangerous occupation, often resulting in injuries and damage to health through handling explosives and toxic chemicals, and which on occasion resulted in fatalities when shells exploded accidentally; recognises that these workers are yet to be honoured on a national stage; and welcomes the action being taken by the All Party Group for the Recognition of Munitions Workers, in conjunction with the Government, to recognise the sacrifice and service of munitioneers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
