Lord Sassoon (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 March 2025

Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord did not address my point about UNESCO. This has nothing to do with planning processes. Under the World Heritage Convention, state parties—in this case, the UK Government— “are also expected to protect the World Heritage values of the properties inscribed”. Will the Minister confirm that the undertakings to UNESCO are not part of any planning process and answer my question about how the Government regard their obligations in this case to UNESCO? Do they know better what is not appropriate in a world heritage site?
