HC Deb 03 June 1981 vol 5 c376W
55. Mr. John Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the windows of the Palace of Westminster were last cleaned; and when the next cleaning is scheduled to take place.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Most windows in the Palace of Westminster are cleaned at least every six weeks—outside—and 12 weeks—inside. Some which are difficult to reach safely and require the use of a hydraulic platform, have to be cleaned less frequently.
