HC Deb 06 December 1991 vol 200 c257W
Mr. David Evans

To ask the Lord President of the Council what arrangements are made for moving chairs and furniture around the Palace of Westminster; and if he will list the outside companies and organisations involved and their cost each year for the last five years.

Mr. MacGregor

The Parliamentary Works Office employs porters to carry out this work on the parliamentary estate. Additional supplementary porterage is provided when needed by Swift and French who hold the Buying Agency's call-off contract for removal of goods within the London region. Bishop's Move has also been used this year to provide a storage and removal service for the furnishing and fitting out of the new parliamentary building.
