28^th January 2010 - Jewish community eUpdate 23.2

As you will be aware, we have just commemorated Holocaust Memorial Day, and I thought you would like to see a copy of the speech which I made in the House of Commons today, when we were able to debate the issue. 

I am pleased to say that the Leader of the House of Commons granted my request for the debate, which is now becoming an annual event.

I was also privileged to attend the National Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration at the Guildhall on 27^th January. This was an opportunity not just to attend the very moving ceremony, but also to speak to a number of Holocaust survivors who were present.

I hope that you will find my speech of interest.

The full debate can also be accessed on the Parliamentary website.
