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, again I have to preface this with what the noble Lord, Lord Robathan, said. I am not directly responsible for all this. My understanding is that the cost originally was £6.1 million. There were changes because of planned patterns of work and technical issues. One of the particular problems was that gas mains below ground, which originally passed through the entrance structure, had to be diverted. There were some other security capabilities and the cost of significant structural and ground works. There were additional costs, but my understanding is that the first sum was £6.1 million.
