HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 cc211-2W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what was the total cost of the work done on the Palace of Westminster during the summer Recess; and how much of this was attributable to redecoration, to improved facilities, and to the extended installation of closed circuit television communicators.

Mr. Mellish

About £140,000. Of this about £15,000 is for decorations, £50,000 for improved services and facilities, £12,000 for furniture and furnishings, and £25,000 for closed circuit television an- nunciators. The balance is for general maintenance work.
