The motion

That this House calls on the Government to work with the United Kingdom's European partners for the introduction of a Europe-wide annual national holiday to mark Holocaust Day on 27 January each year, the anniversary of the relief of Auschwitz-Birkenau, such that the grief, the horror, the sorrow, the loss and the evil of the Holocaust shall never be forgotten and shall never be repeated.
