answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2019 answer text <p>The UKHMF believed that the location close to Parliament of the Memorial and Learning Centre was an important statement about the importance of democracy as a protector against tyrants. Most of the important decisions relating to Britain’s reaction to the Holocaust were taken near the site. Consequently no other site came close to Victoria Tower Gardens in symbolism or significance. The Government agreed with the recommendation that Victoria Tower Gardens was the most fitting location.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 29/05/2019 10:53:10 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
