UK Government Recommits to Holocaust Memorial Near Parliament

Legislation reintroduced to bypass legal obstacles and ensure the memorial's construction in Victoria Tower Gardens.

The Holocaust Memorial Bill aims to authorize funding and override a 1900 law protecting the parkland.
The project has faced legal and design challenges since its initial proposal in 2015.
Supporters emphasize the memorial's importance in combating antisemitism and preserving historical lessons.
Critics argue the site is too small and poses security risks, with some Holocaust survivors opposing the design.
The new Labour government continues the commitment made by the previous Conservative administration.
