Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

Therefore, in my view it is logical that Parliament should expect to be able to inspect what is proposed before permission is finally granted. If that has to be through a planning appeal, so be it. There may be another way of doing it but, after a planning appeal, not only will the inspector allow “a memorial” and “a centre” but all the planning conditions will be set out in detail, with drawings, with the access conditions and, presumably, with some specificity about security, which I will come to in a minute. Therefore, Parliament would be able to see “the centre” and “the memorial” that are proposed, with the definite article inserted.
