I turn next to Amendment 37 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, which proposes a new clause calling for the pathway along Millbank to be maintained throughout the construction period. This is not a practical proposition. Construction of the planned Holocaust memorial and learning centre will inevitably require closure of the path from time to time to enable the delivery of plant and machinery and the removal of spoil. There will be some need for excavation to enable utilities to be connected.
