Turning quickly to the other amendments, Amendments 18, 19 and 20, I put on record my thanks to those who put their names to these amendments, and to the Select Committee on this Bill for persuading the promoter to give a series of assurances summarised in the promoter’s response to the Select Committee’s special report of the 2024-25 Session, which was published last month. Amendment 18 simply proposes to insert the undertakings made in the promoter’s first assurance about access to the playground during construction into the Bill. An assurance has already been given; it would be rather nice if it could be made flesh in the Bill. Amendment 20 would insert into the Bill the undertakings made in the promoter’s fourth assurance about arrangements to ensure appropriate separation of the playground from the Holocaust memorial as it is being constructed, and from its visitors after it has been constructed. Amendment 19 proposes that a report on the safeguarding measures that will be put in place to protect the playground and its users should be laid before Parliament within three months of the Bill becoming law. I beg to move.
