HC Deb 25 May 2000 vol 350 c614W
Mr. Gale

To ask the Chairman of the Administration Committee if the Committee is in a position to advise the House of the likely amount visitors will be charged for a guide in order to undertake line of route tours during the summer Adjournment. [124312]

Mrs. Roe

Following negotiations between the authorities of both Houses and organisations able to carry out the booking and guiding arrangements, it has been established that two separate companies will be required for these functions. The result of having to divide these services means that a minimal charge of £3.50, to cover the guide fees and ticketing arrangements, will have to be made. Pre-booked tickets for a timed guided tour will go on sale after the Whitsun Adjournment.
