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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment the Government has made of the compatibility of the planned Holocaust Memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens with Westminster City Council's statues and monuments policy; and when that policy was first brought to the attention of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation.

The Foundation considered Westminster City Council's Statues and Monuments Policy as part of its search of almost 50 possible sites. The Government believes that the proposed Holocaust Memorial will be of national significance and an appropriate addition to Victoria Tower Gardens.
