HC Deb 16 February 1988 vol 127 cc522-3W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the quality of furnishings and fittings in the new Members' accommodation in Bridge street will be of similar standard to those in the Department of Health and Social Security building in Richmond terrace; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

Members' accommodation in the new parliamentary building will be fitted out generally in accordance with the design brief published in the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services), Third Report, Session 1983–84, Appendix 1.1 (HC571). The quality will be comparable to the furniture in the Commons Court offices though taken from current standard ranges.
