Amendment 36, also from the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, seeks to ensure that visitors to Victoria Tower Gardens who are not seeking to enter the Holocaust memorial and learning centre should not be subject to security checks. It is not now, and never has been, the intention to carry out security checks on people who are not visiting the memorial and learning centre. This topic was addressed specifically in the original planning application and considered at the planning inquiry by the independent planning inspector, who noted in his report that security checks at the park entrances were not proposed.
