Proceeding contribution from Baroness Uddin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 10 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) Bill.


Holocaust (Return of Cultural Objects) Bill

My Lords, I hesitantly rise to pay my tribute to my noble friend Lord Janner and all noble Lords who have spoken. Given their prolific knowledge and understanding of this matter, I am extremely hesitant, but I was emotionally pushed by what I have heard to support this Second Reading. It is a great tribute to my noble friend’s work. I congratulate him and salute all noble Lords who have spoken in the debate, although I missed some of it. It gives great hope to the relatives of those who lost their lives in the Holocaust and brings back a sense of honour and pride. I hope that the Bill is supported by all sides of the House.
