Land Army
- Question
- What recognition they will afford to members of the Land Army and the conscripted Bevin Boys for their services during the years of 1943 to 1948.
- Answer
-
The work of the Bevin Boys, the Land Army, air raid wardens, munitions workers and so many others was vital to Britain’s survival during world war two and it is therefore entirely appropriate that such groups have been, and will continue to be, included in commemorative events. I also welcome the representation of groups who played a key role in the war effort at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day.
