Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the risk that the UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre will attract the attention of Holocaust-deniers and anti-Zionists if it is sited close to Parliament.

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.
