HC Deb 11 July 1988 vol 137 c42W
Mr. Clelland

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many television monitor annunciators were replaced in the Palace of Westminster in the years 1985 to 1987; and what was the cost at current prices.

Mr. Chope

The maintenance contractor for the annunciator system in both Houses holds a small stock of monitors which are used, when necessary, to replace sets which have to be withdrawn for repair. Information on the number of times this occurred during the three years mentioned is not readily available. The stock of replacement monitors was replenished in 1986 by the purchase of five sets. The cost was approximately £1,300.
