Holocaust Memorial Day

Debate between Anne McLaughlin and Andrew Percy

Thursday 23rd January 2020 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Percy]

Absolutely.

[Anne McLaughlin (Glasgow North East) (SNP)]

The hon. Member talks about people being unaware that what they are saying is offensive and of why it is offensive. Earlier, in Women and Equalities questions, I asked if hon. Members could work together to tackle unconscious racial bias. I absolutely agree with what he is saying—lots of people do not understand that their responses to others arise because of their unconscious bias. Would he be interested in working with a number of us across the House on such unconscious bias, whoever it affects?
