Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 14 March 2019 to Question 229629 on National Holocaust Memorial Centre and Learning Service, whether the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation’s recommendation in January 2016 was that both the Memorial and the Learning Centre should be in Victoria Tower Gardens.

The Foundation’s advice has consistently been that the Memorial and Learning Centre should be co-located. Information obtained through the design competition allowed Ministers to conclude that co-location would be feasible and they announced on 24 October 2017 their decision to proceed with an integrated design.
