Overview

This bill authorizes government spending and removes legal restrictions on specific land to enable the construction of a Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in the UK.

Description

The Holocaust Memorial Bill allows the Secretary of State to spend public money on building and maintaining a Holocaust memorial and accompanying learning centre. This includes construction (which is defined broadly to include alteration and extension), ancillary work, and ongoing operational costs. The bill specifically overrides certain restrictions imposed by the London County Council (Improvements) Act 1900 on a piece of land to facilitate the project. The Act will apply to England and Wales only and will come into force two months after it is passed.

Government Spending

The bill allows for unspecified government expenditure "paid out of money provided by Parliament" on the construction, maintenance and operation of the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre. No specific financial figures are provided in the bill itself.

Groups Affected

Groups potentially affected include:

• Taxpayers: Will contribute to the project's funding.
• Residents near the construction site: May experience disruption during construction.
• Educators and students: May benefit from the educational resources provided by the learning centre.
• Holocaust survivors and their families: Will be directly impacted by the memorial’s creation.
