Labour — Croydon East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2026

Debate

Black History Month

Contribution

On that point about community, and what the black community adds to it, I pay tribute to the work of the Croydon BME Forum, led by Dr Andrew Brown, and the chair of our Pride in Place board in New Addington, Julia Weller. These people are community leaders who put their communities first, whether in relation to tackling mental health issues, tackling food poverty or helping people who are struggling to pay their bills. There is always a warm welcome and a big smile. I wonder whether the hon. Member agrees with me—[Interruption.]
