<p><br>The Government fully appreciates the efforts and the often very dangerous conditions
experienced by those who worked in factories producing vital equipment for the armed
forces that helped contribute to winning the Second World War. The Department for
Business, Innovation and Skills has been working with the All Party Parliamentary
Group (APPG) on Recognition for Munitions Workers, which was set up in 2011 to explore
ways to ensure that the valiant collective efforts of all those who worked in munitions
factories are not forgotten.</p><p>Following the very successful commemorations to
mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day we will now be focussing in more detail across
government on how the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2015
might be marked in an appropriate manner. No decisions have yet been made on how the
anniversary will be marked, but we expect an announcement on the commemorations to
be made by the Government later in the year.</p><p> </p>
