The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 July 2025

Debate

Peers’ Entrance Security Door

Contribution

My Lords, it is unacceptable that the Peers’ Entrance does not operate as it should. The commission has directed urgent work to resolve this. The commission agreed an exception to release the costs of the work at Peers’ Entrance, particularly as much of the cost relates to building and infrastructure works. The total cost has been £9.6 million. The cost to remedy defects will not be borne by the House and will be met by Parliament’s contractors.
