HC Deb 15 April 1985 vol 77 c69W
Mr. Burt

asked the Lord Privy Seal why the door to the Norman porch was not opened to visitors wishing to follow the line of route until 3.40 pm on 29 March instead of 3 pm.

Mr. Biffen

There was a delay in opening the Norman porch entrance on the afternoon of Friday 29 March because of a problem with the redeployment of staff. Steps have been taken to ensure against any recurrence.

Mr. Burt

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is satisfied with the arrangements at the Norman porch for the entry of visitors to the line of route through the Palace of Westminster.

Mr. Biffen

The arrangements for the administration of the line of route are currently under review by the Accommodation and Administration Sub-Committee of the Services Committee.
