MP for Hendon, who sponsored our commemmoration of Hrant Dink in the
House of Commons last week, has tabled a Presentation Bill (a Private
Memnbers Bill) in the UK Parliament on the Genocide He is one of the
most helpful MPs in the House of Commons and is Chairman of the Joint
Human Rights Committee. This position shows that he is held in high
regard by the government
He has developed a reputation as a private members' Bill expert.. His
first, Holocaust Memorial Day, was taken up by the Government, and is
now part of the national calendar. He introduced a Corporate
Manslaughter Bill, which helped push the Government into promoting their
own Bill, now law. His third, the Divorce (Religious Marriages) Bill
became law, helping resolve problems concerning Jewish divorce.
We are proud of our continuing co-operation with Mr Dismore.This is
the first such bill on the Genocide to be presented in the UK
parliamemt. We appeal to all UK Armenians for their support to persuade
the House of Commons to grant a second reading of the bill.
