(View all Viscount Eccles's MHCLG questions)In January 2015, in response to the Holocaust Commission’s report ‘Britain’s Promise to Remember, the Prime Minister with cross-party support committed £50 million to kick-start a society-wide fundraising effort to deliver the National Memorial and Learning Centre and its wider educational objectives.
There are no plans to transfer responsibility for the UK Holocaust Foundation to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. The Holocaust Memorial Foundation provides independent advice to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government who has overall responsibility for the delivery of the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre.
The UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation has engaged extensively with all interested parties, including organisations and members of the Jewish community.
The Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre will have security arrangements similar to the many other public buildings in Westminster. By using the latest technology and security methodology available we intend for the security aspects to be integrated into the design so it does not impact on the visitor experience.
To achieve this we are working with security experts, government agencies and the Metropolitan Police to ensure the necessary security measures are put in place.
From 2015/16 to the end of January 2019 the Government has spent £4.8 million on the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre programme.
