Asked by: Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative - Life peer)
Question
To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker what assessment he has made of whether the microphones and audio system in the Moses Room are fit for purpose.
Answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble
The sound system in the Moses room is due to be replaced as part of a project upgrading the facilities across Committee Rooms. This work was recently delayed to ensure that related asbestos works could be undertaken safely. The work on the sound system is now scheduled to be completed in Summer 2026.

Question
To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker whether all the microphones in the Chamber work; and, if not, what plans there are to repair them.
Answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble
The microphones in the Chamber are tested each day in advance of the sitting of the House and are in full working order.
If any Member wishes to identify any particular audio matters in the Chamber, I would be very happy to take this up with the Director of Facilities.
