I think that my noble friend Lord Blencathra is on to something. My noble friend Lord Finkelstein, who speaks with great passion about these matters, is quite right. In a sense, he gives away the lie in all of this. It should be rethought because it could be built much more quickly and cheaply, right next door to Parliament, and be appropriate in the company of the Buxton memorial, the “Burghers of Calais” and the other monuments precisely in the spirit of what my noble friend Lord Blencathra puts forward in Amendment 11.
