Clause 2 is vandalising clause. It removes the protection afforded to the green space of VTG for more than a century, and wrecks the aspirations of the Prime Minister's Holocaust Commission report in 2015, which recommended a large campus with room for a lecture hall, classrooms, an online hub, the Imperial War Museum’s Holocaust exhibition, offices for all the Holocaust education bodies and a professorship dedicated to transforming Holocaust education. This has virtually all been abandoned because the site chosen is too small and too difficult to encompass any of that. The use of technology has rendered the need for space smaller but, indeed, so great is the advance of technology that, frankly, from what we have seen of the underground learning centre it does not need a building at all. The whole thing could be contained in a set of slides and made available on every computer in every school and home in the land.
