Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 March 2025

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

That is where we start, but this is where I think there is room for compromise around Amendment 11. My noble friend Lord Finkelstein—after the emotion and misrepresentation of what I heard from other noble Lords this afternoon—talked about a reasonably modest memorial, if I heard him right. The whole objection of UNESCO and many of us to what is proposed is that it is not remotely reasonably modest. If it was reasonably modest, it would be consistent with the Buxton memorial, with being near Parliament and with what UNESCO sees as this fundamental compromise of the world heritage site.
