The statement the Secretary of State has made today is truly shocking, and many women and their families will be very worried this afternoon. The Secretary of State
said that it is estimated that 309,000 women in this group are still alive and that the first 65,000 letters are going out this week. Why are the letters not going out this afternoon to all 309,000 women? Why are we having to wait until the end of May to put at rest the minds of these women and their families?
