Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What was the area of carpet replaced in the Palace of Westminster during the Summer Recess; how much of the old carpet has been sold so far; and what was the average price per square metre realised.

Lord BELLWIN

Approximately 3,100 square yards of carpet was replaced; the old carpet should be sold at the auction sale today.
