Lord Trefgarne

asked the Chairman of Committees:

Whether there are any facilities available within the Palace of Westminster for cash payment of the congestion charge. [HL2918]

The Chairman of Committees (Lord Brabazon of Tara):

There is a self-service machine for payment of the congestion charge in the Palace of Westminster, located near the House of Commons' cash machines. A similar machine can be found in the Abingdon Street underground carpark. Both machines allow payment by debit or credit card, but there are no facilities for cash payment within the Palace. Other methods of payment include: online at www.cclondon.com; by telephone on 0845 900 1234; by mobile phone text message, having registered online or by telephone; at a range of petrol stations and retail outlets.
