Holocaust Memorial Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 June 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Holocaust Memorial Bill.

May I perhaps help my hon. Friend a little? The estimate by the London Historic Parks & Gardens Trust is that up to 30% of the park will be lost, so this is a major construction. In addition to the excellent point she is making, for some of us this comes down to the essential principle about a lack of consultation about the siting. The public were consulted and Westminster City Council said no, and the Government have decided to override it. That troubles us; as I have said before, it is not how we do things in this country. Perhaps that is the central point here.
