	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>Millbank Tower was considered as a possible site for the Memorial and Learning Centre. The proposal was tied to the development of the wider site: to date, there is no evidence of redevelopment coming forward and occupational office leases have now been extended to 2022. Victoria Tower Gardens was preferred by the UKHMF Board as the outstanding candidate site for the following reasons:</p><ul><li>its relevance as a commemorative garden of Britain’s national conscience, already containing significant memorial sculptures, marking momentous historic events, with significance for the struggle for human rights, that remain relevant today and will do so in the future;</li><li>it provides an iconic location adjoining Parliament, sitting along the riverfront immediately next to the House of Lords;</li><li>it is visually prominent and adjacent to one of the most visited parts of London, within easy reach of a major tube station and many bus routes;</li><li>the resonance of being next to Parliament and on the timeless banks of the Thames is exceptional; and</li><li>under the shadow of Victoria Tower, the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre would question the impacts of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides on our own Parliament.</li></ul> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 21/12/2018 14:34:47 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
