The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions his Department has had with relevant stakeholders on the creation of memorials to recognise war-time ammunition factory workers.

Answered by Kate Dearden

The government recognises the hard work of the Munitions Workers and is extremely grateful for their input and sacrifices made during both World Wars.

Munitions workers are included on the Women's War Memorial in Whitehall. In addition, several trees have been planted at the National Arboretum in Litchfield and many former factories have memorials including, ROF Swynnerton, ROF Rotherwas and Aycliffe Newton.
