Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 October 2024. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Engagement.


International Engagement

When one group of people have done something terrible to another group of people, it is understandable that resentment about it can pass down to the next generation and possibly the generation after that, but does the Minister agree that to suggest that that process can continue over two centuries, and thus require guilt to be expiated in the form of reparations, is to make a nonsense of the concept of individual responsibility?
