A campaign to fund a memorial to honour Dame Vera Lynn has won support from more than 70 MPs from across the Commons who have written to Rishi Sunak seeking public funding.
Among them are Harriett Baldwin, Treasury committee chairman, former deputy prime minister Damian Green, and senior Tory figures Sir Graham Brady and Sir John Redwood.
