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

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the latest cost estimates for the proposed Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in Victoria Tower Gardens.

The National Audit Office letter of 24 March 2025 set out that forecast costs for completing the programme stand at £146.6 million.

The Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre is the subject of a planning application. MHCLG applicant and decision-maker roles in this case are entirely separate; this question has been answered on behalf of the applicant. Handling arrangements have been published on the MHCLG website: Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre: MHCLG handling note - GOV.UK (attached).
