Written Question
Roads: Palace of Westminster
Thursday 8th February 2018

Asked by: Greg Knight (Conservative - East Yorkshire)

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, if she was consulted on the non-urgent works on Abingdon Street that resulted in road vehicle access to and from the south entrance of the Palace of Westminster being closed.

Answered by Andrea Leadsom

The works were planned by Westminster City Council in conjunction with the Parliamentary Strategic Estates Department in order to carry out essential improvements to power and IT services for Members and staff across the estate and resurface roads. These are part of the annual works plan and as such were approved via the annual estimate by the House of Commons Commission. The contractor is liaising with parliamentary authorities to minimise disruption across the estate during the day and these arrangements will be kept under constant review.
