When we debated that Bill last Tuesday, the noble Lord, Lord Katz, told us that the Home Secretary was minded to add in due course this Holocaust memorial and the memorial to Muslims who fought in the World Wars, once they are both constructed. I was glad to hear that; I think that is sensible. However, as the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, has said, there are existing memorials to the Holocaust, including, for instance, the memorial in Hyde Park that was unveiled in June 1983. If the Minister is able, either now or later in writing, I would be grateful to know whether he thinks it would be appropriate to add that memorial, which is not listed. Sadly, it was targeted as recently as last April by protesters campaigning about current events in the Middle East. If we are to make sure that memorials such as this one are not targets for protesters, will he speak to his right honourable friend the Home Secretary to make sure that other memorials to the Holocaust are not targeted, and let us know whether he thinks that it too should be listed in Schedule 12 to the Crime and Policing Bill?
