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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with Barnet Council on ensuring that the war memorial that contains its Jewish history will not be moved due to proposed road works.

My officials are in contact with Barnet Council about the proposed road works which could impact on the War memorial in Golders Green. The Council have reiterated that moving the memorial would not happen without proper consultation and have confirmed that there has been no consultation on anything specific about the site.
