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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of a civilian memorial to the people who lived under Nazi occupation in Jersey and the Channel Islands during the Second World War.

There are a number of memorial plaques to the people who suffered under Nazi occupation in the Channel Islands. For example, Jersey erected a memorial in the late 1940s to occupied civilians, and erected liberation memorials to them in 1985 and 1995, 2000 and 2016. Guernsey has erected liberation memorials in memory of its occupied citizens in 1985, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020.
