BEVIN BOYS

Early day motion 1417, tabled 18 January 2006 by Gordon Banks (Labour). Signed by 175 members.

That this House acknowledges the role played by the Bevin Boys, who served this nation during the period 1943 to 1948; notes that many paid the ultimate price in their endeavour to rid Europe of Nazi tyrants; and calls upon the Government officially to recognise by the way of an award similar to that available to military veterans the importance of the Bevin Boys to victory in the Second World War.
