HC Deb 16 June 1994 vol 244 c626W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what instructions are given to security staff in his departmental offices in London for dealing with(a) those sleeping rough in departmental doorways and (b) beggars in the vicinity; and how many problems have been experienced with each category in the last three months.

Mr. Nelson

No specific instructions are issued to security staff; it is the practice for anyone causing a nuisance to be asked to move on. No problems have been experienced in the past three months.
