Extracts from
PMQs
(Islington North) (Lab):
Today would have been the 90th birthday of Anne Frank had she
survived, but she died in the Nazi Bergen-Belsen concentration
camp in 1945. In her diary, she wrote many things, but one that
really applies to all of us at all times is:
“Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in
character and goodness.”
We should remember her life and all that she has inspired in so
many others ever since the second world war.
The Prime Minister: First, may I echo the comments of the right
hon. Gentleman in recognising what would have been the 90th
birthday of Anne Frank? Nobody can have read the testimony of
Anne Frank in her diary without being deeply moved and deeply
shocked by what she had to live through, and that is another
reason why everybody across this House and across our society
should do everything we can in the fight against antisemitism.
(Dudley North) (Ind): We have
ambitious plans for Dudley, with the new technical skills centre
to provide technical apprenticeships and university-level skills
in industries such as advanced manufacturing, digital
technologies, low-carbon industries and autonomous electric
vehicles. Before the Prime Minister leaves office, will she
accelerate the stronger towns fund and enable us to bring new
investment, new industries and good, new, well-paid jobs to the
Black Country?
The Prime Minister: I do not know whether the hon. Gentleman will
get an opportunity to ask me another question at PMQs over the
coming weeks, but I take this opportunity to recognise the
significant work that he has done with the holocaust Educational
Trust. As we recognise that this would have been the 90th
birthday of Anne Frank, it is very important that we recognise
the work that is done by that trust, and his contribution to
it...
