Lord Hayhoe

asked the Chairman of Committees:

Whether any arrangements are being made for celebrations within the Palace of Westminster on 31 December 1999 to 1 January 2000. [HL2616]

The Chairman of Committees (Lord Boston of Faversham)

The House of Commons has agreed that the public areas of the Commons should be closed that night. In the House of Lords, there will be a celebration, sponsored by the Millennium Commission, in the Royal Gallery. Events in the Lord Chancellor's Apartment are a matter for the Lord Chancellor. Elsewhere, no events are planned in the House of Lords that night.
