CONGRATULATIONS on your excellent coverage of the campaign for a memorial to the women of the Second World War (February 27).
You quoted the first part of my House of Commons motion saying the memorial will pay tribute to the 640,000 women who served in the armed forces, but missed the part saying it will also commemorate the enormous contribution of the millions of other women who served in the Land Army, munitions factories, fire brigades, hospitals and other wartime occupations.
The charity raising funds for the memorial wishes to make it clear that it is intended to acknowledge the enormous contribution made by all the women of the Second World War - those in the armed forces and civilians.
Hugh Bayley MP,
House of Commons, London.
