UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

Debate between Stephen Kerr and Marsha De Cordova

Monday 8th April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Kerr]

I said clearly that we should counter racism and hate wherever it raises its head. I find it rather rich that the hon. Lady would take this opportunity to attack Conservative Members, especially in the light of the state of the Labour party so graphically illustrated in yesterday’s report in The Sunday Times.

[Marsha De Cordova]

As a black woman, I find it is very important that we do not belittle or disregard the issues that face us. We saw a hostile environment with the Windrush generation that was criminal. As the granddaughter of the Windrush generation, I think the hon. Gentleman has to admit that that was caused by his Government and no other.

[Stephen Kerr]

I have incurred your displeasure, Mr Deputy Speaker, and I apologise for taking too long.
