MIDDLEWICH MP Fiona Bruce led a debate in the House of Commons on the actions of Daesh.


Fiona led the debate in the Commons on Thursday, April 21, on recognising the actions of Daesh in persecuting religious minorities as genocide.


MPs voted unanimously, by 278 votes to 0, to Fiona’s motion to ask the government to refer the matter to the UN Security Council.


Speaking at the end of the debate, Fiona said: “We owe it to the victims to seek justice for those who suffer, to show an international lead, to be a voice for the voiceless and to hold the perpetrators to account.


“This motion is simple: it asks the Members of this Parliament to recognise the genocide that is taking place for what it is. Can anyone who has listened to this debate deny that? If there ever was a vote on a matter of conscience, surely this is one.”
