On 21 April 2016, I visited the replica of an ancient triumphal arch of Palmyra which was unveiled on Tuesday 19 April 2016 at Trafalgar Square as part of World Heritage Week. The arch was built by the Institute of Digital Archaeology using 3D technology. Up close, it is an impressive feat of technology. The Arch will be travelling around to other cities and will be in New York in September 2016. The ancient site of Palmyra was destroyed by Daesh in October 2015.
In the House there were two important debates on Wednesday 20 April 2016. I signed both motions and both motions were passed.
