HC Deb 19 May 1986 vol 98 cc84-5W
Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why access to the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace has been made impossible for visitors in wheelchairs; if he will take steps to remove the obstacles; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

Access to the Queen's Gallery has had to be temporarily diverted whilst construction work is in progress on an adjacent site. In order to maintain access to the gallery during the course of this work, a temporary staircase has been erected. Regretfully this is the only safe entrance for the public and this temporary arrangement will have to remain in place until the construction work is completed in the spring of 1987.
