Mr. MacGregor

The New Building Sub-Committee resolved at its meeting on 21 May 1991 that the allocation of offices in phase 1 as between Members of political parties should be on the following basis:

  • Second Floor: offices for Labour (or other Opposition party) Members
  • Third Floor: offices for Conservative Members
  • Fourth Floor: offices to be divided between Labour (or other Opposition party) and Conservative Members
  • Fifth Floor: offices for Conservative Members
  • Sixth Floor: offices for Labour (or other Opposition party) Members.

Individual offices will be allocated to Members by the accommodation Whips of the Government and official Opposition parties on behalf of the Services Committee in the usual way.
