Holocaust Memorial BillContribution
We have had no indication from those involved in restoration and renewal how they will manage this, or how the security will work. They will be victims of the same kind of troubles that the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, so eloquently outlined. I wonder, frankly, whether any contractors will want to get involved in the restoration and renewal project, knowing of this difficulty. We have had no indication from those involved in restoration and renewal about how they will manage this—and, of course, it has to take precedence over anything else in the gardens, as it is of historic interest. It follows, therefore, that there has to be a clear explanation to Parliament of how the two projects will work together or, alternatively, one has to wait for the other to be finished. The one that ought to wait is of course the memorial, given, as I have said, that there are already six others and 21 learning centres.
