<p>It is not normal practice for central Government to fund new memorials and it has
no current plans to establish a national memorial to the victims of the slave trade.
Many organisations – public and private – are rightly able (subject to the relevant
permissions) to freely propose, fund and deliver memorials marking a variety of incidents
and historical moments in a way that they are best-placed to deem appropriate and
sensitive.</p><p>Many successful memorials are created by a wide-range of authorities
and organisations, allowing each one to respond sensitively to the particular circumstances
that it seeks to commemorate.</p><p>Given the wide range of people and organisations
interested in establishing memorials, it is as a general rule, for them to work with
the relevant local planning authority to identify a suitable site and obtain the necessary
planning permissions</p><p> </p>
