Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 March 2025

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

Surely the least Parliament can expect is to be allowed to consider why it has repealed the material parts of Section 8 of the 1900 Act, so that it can decide whether this should be allowed. With great respect to the Minister and all those supporting him enthusiastically, I defy the Government to produce a logical argument that negates the requirement—at least, the principle—that Parliament should have the final say. For those reasons, I support the amendment spoken to so well by my noble friend Lord Inglewood.
