To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will list the several outbuildings to the precincts of the Palace of Westminster showing who is in charge of each building and what changes in these arrangements will follow from the Ibbs report.

Mr. MacGregor

The following House of Commons outbuildings form part of the parliamentary estate:

  • Number 1 Canon Row
  • Norman Shaw (North) and (South)
  • St. Stephen's House
  • Number 1 Parliament street
  • Number 1 Derby Gate
  • Number 3 Dean's Yard
  • Number 6–7 Old Palace Yard
  • Number 2 the Abbey Garden

In addition, Palace Chambers and Nos. 1 and 2 Bridge street are either vacant or occupied temporarily pending redevelopment as part of phase II of the new parliamentary building project.

No. 1 The Abbey gardens is occupied by the House of Lords.

Accommodation in these buildings is managed by the respective House authorities with works services being undertaken by the DOE Property Holdings, parliamentary works organisation. Implementation of the Ibbs report will transfer responsibility for the latter to the Houses.
