The Grenfell Tower Memorial (Expenditure) Bill would authorise public spending to create a permanent Grenfell memorial in England, including an archive and exhibitions and related land works. It is a standalone money bill, not a change to existing law, with costs paid by Parliament and plans developed with community input; construction is expected to start around mid-2027.
The bill has completed its Commons stages, including a money resolution and Committee of the Whole House, and has moved to the Lords. It is currently at the Lords’ 2nd reading, with further stages (Report and 3rd reading) planned.
