HC Deb 29 January 1993 vol 217 c1297 9.34 am
Madam Speaker

I have an announcement to make on a matter of internal administration. The parking of cars in Speaker's Court is by permission of the Speaker. All the available spaces there are allocated. Despite repeated requests not to do so, which have continued now for a matter of months, the hon. Member for Cynon Valley (Mrs. Clwyd) continues to leave her car in the court, thereby taking someone else's parking space and, by her conduct, causing embarrassment to the servants of the House whose duty it is to enforce the regulations. This situation cannot be allowed to continue and I have given directions that if, after today, the hon. Member leaves her car in Speaker's Court, she will not be allowed to move the vehicle until she has given an undertaking that in future she will make use of the parking facilities available to her elsewhere.
