Holocaust Memorial BillContribution
I believe that the siting of the learning centre in Victoria Tower Gardens presents, as I have already said, a foreseeable terrorism risk. The site would be iconic and doubly tempting to both Islamist and right-wing extremists, given its proximity to this building, the lack of any secure or meaningful existing or proposed perimeter, and its close proximity to public highways and the river. I am astonished that this has not been seen to be a real problem, and I believe that this warning should be taken seriously.
