§ Sir J. Rodgersasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if a date has yet been fixed for the cleaning of the exterior of the Palace of Westminster.
§ Mr. ChannonNo. I have to consider this project, which would cost between £2 million and £3 million together with all the other calls on my Department's resources. I can however assure my hon. Friend that as soon as I have reached conclusions on this aspect I will submit firm proposals to the appropriate Committees of both Houses.
