Proceeding contribution from Philippa Whitford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 December 2018. It occurred during Debate on European Union (Withdrawal) Act.
European Union (Withdrawal) Act
Most people in this Chamber know that my husband is German, but not all of them know that his mother was Polish and that his parents were not allowed to marry. The child they had together was taken from them. His mother was a forced labourer and his father was lifted by the Gestapo. Long before we ended up in this mess, he used to celebrate the fact that after one generation, he could live and work where he wanted and marry who he loved. In one more generation, we are taking all that away. It is shameful.
