§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the right hon. Member for Berwick upon Tweed, representing the House of Commons Commission, what complaints he has received about(a) the Security Offices Mess Room, Norman Shaw Building and (b) the Palm Court Mess concerning rats, mice, cockroaches and general conditions of the rooms. [31267]
§ Mr. BeithThere has been no recent complaints to the authorities of the Houses about pests in either the Norman Shaw buildings or the Palm Court mess area. A specialist pest control firm is under contract to make regular inspections in these areas and to deal with any vermin. I have asked the Director of Works to write to the hon. Member with more detailed information.
