Of course, modifications to the Holocaust memorial and learning centre must be considered within the context of planning law. No significant changes could take place without planning consent, and the process of seeking planning consent would entail consultation and careful assessment of any impacts on the gardens and on any nearby monuments. This amendment is not necessary as a safeguard against significant future expansion of the Holocaust memorial and learning centre. It would, however, be an unnecessary and unhelpful impediment to sensible future modifications should they be needed. I respectfully ask the noble Lord not to press his amendment.
