    Thousands of conscripts who worked down coal mines in World War II will receive a special honour, Tony Blair has said.
    The prime minister told the Commons the "Bevin Boys" would be rewarded with a commemorative badge.

    The above statement was said on Wednesday, 20th June 2007 :ehm:

    This has now happened, in my opinion not before time. :thumb:
