European Union (Approvals) Bill [Lords]

Lee Scott Excerpts

Monday 13th January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Vaizey]

What I am saying is that one should look at the kinds of projects that have been funded in the past and the kinds of projects we expect the programme to fund in the future. Hon. Friends may well disagree with the funding of some events, both past and future, while other hon. Members of a different political persuasion may disagree with the funding of others. That is the nature of a programme that funds a huge range of projects.

[Mr Lee Scott (Ilford North) (Con)]

Does my hon. Friend agree that, during these times of a rise in anti-Semitism in Europe, anything that remembers what happened in the holocaust can only be a good thing?

[Helen Goodman (Bishop Auckland) (Lab)]

Good point.
