A statue is to be built in honour of a former British intelligence officer who helped thousands of Jews escape Nazi Germany.
The monument to Major Frank Foley will be government-funded and erected in the West Midlands town of Stourbridge, near Dudley, where he retired.
Major Foley helped thousands of Jewish people flee Nazi Germany while working undercover as a passport control officer prior to the Second World War.
News of the statue was unveiled by the Chancellor, George Osborne, during a parliamentary reception yesterday where he also announced £500,000 for the Holocaust Educational Trust.
The MP for Dudley, Ian Austin, has welcomed it as "fantastic news".
A statue honouring Major Foley has already been unveiled in his hometown of Highbridge, Somerset (picture).
Speaking about Major Foley on its website, the Catholic Diocese of Clifton said: "Frank was helped to obtain a scholarship for Stoneyhurst College - a Jesuit-run school - by the La Retraite Sisters and then studied for the priesthood in France.
"He did not continue and instead, with the outbreak of the First World War, joined the army.
"He eventually joined MI6 and before the Second World War was in charge of the British Passport Office in Berlin.
"In that capacity, he risked his life by helping many Jews escape from Germany.
"He willingly bent the rules to enable them to have the necessary passports."
