The national Holocaust memorial centre in Westminster will be free “in perpetuity” to visitors when it opens, the Communities Secretary has announced.
Robert Jenrick said the decision would put the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, due to be built in Victoria Tower Gardens next to Parliament, on the same footing as the UK’s most significant museums and monuments.
The Government said the centre, scheduled to open in 2024, will be the focal point for national remembrance of the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust and all other victims of Nazi persecution, along with providing a place for reflection on “subsequent genocides”.

The developer behind a proposed £271 million Broadway Malyan scheme in Norwich has lodged a High Court bid for a judicial review to overturn housing secretary Robert Jenrick’s rejection of the plans
Both Norwich City Council and the government’s planning inspector supported the controversial scheme by Weston Homes, which would have redeveloped the Anglia Square shopping precinct in the city’s centre.

The project would have created 1,250 homes on the site, including in towers up to 20 storeys tall, as well as a hotel, a cinema, and shops. But the proposal was rejected by Jenrick, who cited ‘design flaws’ and its effect on local heritage assets.
