tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL5735
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2017 answer text <p>A nationwide public consultation was conducted in 2014 by the Prime Minister's Holocaust Commission, which received almost 2500 responses. The resulting recommendation to establish a new National Memorial to the Holocaust with a co-located education centre, prominently located in central London, was welcomed by all main political parties. The costs of this exercise were not recorded separately.</p><p>The cross-party United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial Foundation, which advises Government in taking these recommendations forward, then, over an 18 month period, conducted a search of London for the best possible site for such an important project. More than fifty sites were considered and the Foundation found that by far the most fitting, prominent and powerful location for the new memorial and education centre was alongside parliament in Victoria Tower Gardens, a site owned by Government.</p><p>The Foundation is now consulting with local residents, as well as members of the public all around the United Kingdom, on the choice of design team to take the project forward. As with all developments, the project will be subject to the full democratic planning process and all the appropriate consultations.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 09/03/2017 16:59:32 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they are giving to releasing prisoners who have spent 40 or more years in custody.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL5737
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>Any prisoner who has not been released from a sentence imposed 40 or more years ago will be serving a sentence of life imprisonment. As such, their release is a matter for the independent Parole Board who must be satisfied that their detention is no longer necessary for the protection of the public. There is also a power for the Secretary of State executively to release a prisoner if exceptional circumstances exist which justify release on compassionate grounds. If such a prisoner were to make an application for compassionate release it would be considered on its individual merits.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 13/03/2017 15:08:44 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
