Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 March 2025

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

Why have the Government not set out their policy position and considered the options? We know that the wrong site has been chosen—that has been thoroughly gone into—but what about the impact on business or, in this case, the cost? What about the impact on the economy, the ongoing maintenance of the site, the security precautions costs and the impact on voluntary organisations? What is the impact on the existing learning centres, of which there are at least 21, and their funding? What is the impact on the Imperial War Museum’s Holocaust galleries, less than a mile away, or the impact on all the other Holocaust remembrance organisations that expected to have new offices inside the learning centre, as recommended in 2015?
