That this House congratulates the five British women for managing to enter the record books by becoming the first all-female expedition to reach both North and South Poles; pays tribute to the five women involved for their effort and determination; hopes that this contributes to their efforts to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics UK, Britain's biggest sports charity; and hopes to see future British expeditions achieve similar success.
