§ Mrs. EllmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has held with EU colleagues in relation to legislation against holocaust denial; and if he will make a statement. [156113]
§ Mr. VazHolocaust denial was discussed in January at the Stockholm International Forum on Combating Intolerance, at which my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Home Affairs led the UK delegation. The Government continue to play a leading role in post-Holocaust affairs, in particular through their active membership of the International Task Force on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, and through its role as Account Holder for the Nazi Persecution Relief Fund. The Government have also been closely following developments on slave/forced labour compensation and have made clear that they expect fair treatment for any eligible British citizens.
