Many things have changed. We now know the problems with the Adjaye design, the security problems and the heritage problems, which I am coming to. The Imperial War Museum opened its display after the public inquiry, the flood risk has increased, there is a new National Planning Policy Framework and, of course, there is security and terrorism. If Parliament really cares about the environment, its own laws and the safety of the people here, a full new planning application has to be carried out. I see no reason why the ministry would not want to do that. If it is so proud of this project, there should be no difficulty at all, from its point of view, in getting planning permission.
