Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate was made by the Privy Council office of the number of people who can be safely accommodated in the picture gallery of St James’ Palace.

The Privy Council Office is not responsible for estimating the number of people who can be safely accommodated in the Picture Gallery of St James' Palace.

St. James's Palace has a maximum occupancy figure for each of its State Rooms developed in line with the relevant legislation on public safety (including fire safety and evacuation) in historic buildings.
