Question

To ask the Chairman of Committees what are the arrangements for access to the House of Lords during weekends and other quiet periods; and whether there are any plans to change them.

Members have access to the House of Lords estate 24 hours a day, including during weekends. Outside regular hours (advertised in the Handbook on facilities and services for Members and their staff), Members may gain access to the estate by use of their electronic pass at Carriage Gates.
