James Cleverly calls for permanent memorial to PC Keith Palmer

James Cleverly calls for permanent memorial to PC Keith Palmer who was killed defending the Houses of Parliament before the General Election.

James Cleverly (Braintree) (Con)

Will the Leader of the House meet me and any other colleague who so wishes to discuss the erection of a permanent memorial to PC Keith Palmer, who fell defending us and our visitors before the general election, perhaps taking as inspiration the memorial in St James’s Square erected to PC Yvonne Fletcher?

Andrea Leadsom

My hon. Friend is right to remind us of the tragic murder of Keith Palmer and to say that we need to consider how we can remember him and his sacrifice. I shall certainly take that up with Mr Speaker.
