Proceeding contribution from David Mundell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 September 2025. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Lisbon Maru Memorial.
Lisbon Maru Memorial
I commend the hon. Lady for bringing forward the debate and the fact that we were able to have a debate in the House specifically about VJ Day. It is an issue that the events in the far east and some of the horrors that happened there are not known as well as they should be. I was not aware of this specific incident until I heard the hon. Lady mention it previously, so I commend her. Does she agree that we must continue to bring out all the facts about the events in the far east, where Scotland played a particular role, so that people understand the contribution and the sacrifices that were made?
