Finally, the Minister rightly reminded us at the start of this debate about the anniversary of the horrific murder of Stephen Lawrence. Those of us who are old enough will remember the impact that that racist murder had on us all. It was a jolt to society, and it rightly led to serious actions and legislation to tackle racism. I remind the House that antisemitism is the oldest form of racism, yet somehow it does not seem to merit the same strength of action. It deserves urgent action against the culprits, and we know who some of those culprits are. The IRGC is at least one of the key players in anti-Jewish attacks and anti-Jewish hatred, let alone attacks on its own Iranian citizens who live here. I urge us all to support the proscription of the IRGC.
