Question

To ask The Senior Deputy Speaker what action will be taken to clear blockages by tour groups and others from the pavement at the pedestrian lights and Peers' Entrance to enable members to enter.

In the event that pedestrian numbers were to become a risk to Members’ safety and ability to access Parliament, contingency arrangements are in place to ensure that Members can continue to enter and exit the estate in order to carry out their duties. Doorkeepers and Security Officers will continue to monitor the situation throughout the duration of the works.
