Grenfell Tower Memorial (Expenditure) Bill

Key Points

• Authorises public expenditure by the Secretary of State for a permanent Grenfell Tower memorial in England, including land, an archive and exhibition facilities.
• Costs are funded by Parliament under a money resolution; the bill is a standalone expenditure measure, not an amendment to existing law.
• Policy emphasises community‑led design; construction start is planned for mid‑2027; the bill does not alter planning, ownership or safety provisions.
• If enacted, the measure would be known as the Grenfell Tower Memorial (Expenditure) Act 2026.
• Parliamentary journey: the bill progressed through the Commons in March 2026; in the Lords, the Committee stage was negatived on 14 April 2026, but it then moved to report stage and a third reading on the same day, with Royal Assent anticipated later in April 2026.
