As Parliament is dissolved this week for the general election, this post recalls one of the most moving days in Parliament's long history: 17th December 1942.
In December 1989 the House debates war crimes. Llin Golding (Lab, Newcastle-under-Lyme) recounted the experience of her father, Ness Edwards (Lab, Caerphilly), who was part of a parliamentary delegation to Buchenwald in 1945. Powerful stuff.
