answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>Prior to publishing the site specification and criteria for the location on 7 September, the sites under consideration were those referred to in <em>Britain’s Promise to Remember</em> . Between 7 September and 30 October 2015, a search was conducted and almost 50 sites were identified none of which were deemed to meet the published criteria. In light of this, the Foundation suggested Victoria Tower Gardens as a potential location. Following investigations into the feasibility of this site, the Foundation recommended Victoria Tower Gardens to the Government in January 2016 as the best choice of site. The then Prime Minister accepted this recommendation and announced Victoria Tower Gardens as the chosen site on Holocaust Memorial Day 2016.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 14/03/2019 14:07:24 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
