To ask His Majesty's Government what are the estimated costs of the construction and running costs of the planned Westminster Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre; and what assessment have they made of the merits of delaying the construction of the Memorial and Learning Centre until restoration and renewal of the Palace of Westminster has concluded.
The Government remains committed to delivering the proposed Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre which will be a world-class Memorial of exceptional quality. As reported by the National Audit Office in March 2025 forecast costs for completing the programme stand at £146.6 million. Annual running costs published in the revised Accounting Officer Assessment are estimated to be £6.5-8.5m.
The Holocaust Memorial project team and the Restoration and Renewal programme team meet regularly to share information and co-ordinate plans to reduce potential impacts
