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

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s request to departments to identify 5 per cent efficiency savings, what consideration has been given to economies in the cost of constructing a planned underground Holocaust Learning Centre in Victoria Tower Gardens.

The Government is seeking Parliament’s approval of the Holocaust Memorial Bill with a view to constructing the UK national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre as quickly and efficiently as possible.
