Holocaust Memorial BillContribution
There will of course have to be security searches at the entrance to the learning centre, and probably security officers and police watching the queues, but it is not special pleading to say that parliamentarians and our visitors at the northern end will be at greater risk of attack and injury. If that is the conclusion of the security experts listed in this amendment, then the answer is to not build the underground learning centre here, where we have established that the site and centre completely fail to satisfy the Holocaust Commission recommendations. Building a monument that people can wander around is not a risk; building an underground learning centre, where there will be large queues, is.
