That this House pays tribute to the 640,000 women who served in the armed forces during the Second World War; acknowledges the invaluable contribution made by others who served in the Land Army; munitions factories, fire brigades and other wartime occupations; expresses concern at the lack of public recognition of the difficult and dangerous tasks undertaken by the servicewomen, which included flying unarmed planes across the Atlantic and Europe, staffing ack-ack gun sites in support of the Allied war effort and working behind enemy lines in the Special Operations Executive; recognises that their contribution played an essential part in defeating Nazism; notes that Canada, Australia and the USA have national memorials to their World War Two servicewomen; supports the Royal Artillery Association campaign for a United Kingdom memorial to the brave servicewomen who fought for this country during the Second World War; recognises that the cost of erecting war memorials is traditionally borne by public subscription; and calls on the Government to do everything possible to locate a suitable and prominent position for a World War Two United Kingdom servicewomen's memorial.
