Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 March 2025

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

However, if other genocides should be included, as the Government say, they should include Armenia, China, the Soviet Union and the others I mentioned, which add up to 130 million people—not just 3 million. Three million is horrendous, but 130 million is 43 times worse. Now, if for some inexplicable reason we wanted to include only genocides after 1945, we should refer to all of them—including China, the Rohingya, Guatemala, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, et cetera—which would give us 75 million people.
