Proceeding contribution from Lord Blencathra (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 March 2025. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Holocaust Memorial Bill.


Holocaust Memorial Bill

I am so sorry to interrupt the Minister again. He said that, after looking at 50 sites, Victoria Tower Gardens was decided to be the best of them. He has not explained what was wrong with the three sites recommended by the Holocaust Commission. Why did the Government reject the Imperial War Museum, Reuben Brothers’ offer of a site off Millbank, and Potters Fields?
