The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 July 2025

Debate

Contribution

Clearly, there is always an important balance between access and security; they are key considerations as we as parliamentarians, and others who work here, need to do our work. We need to reflect on this area, and, particularly regarding the Peers’ Entrance, on the balance between security, access and users who seek to use the entrance.
