HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 cc28-9W
Mrs. Golding

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when the damaged floor tiles in the House will be replaced.

Mr. Chope

Temporary repairs to the damaged tiles were carried out earlier this year. Discussions are continuing with English Heritage to develop a programme for either the permanent repair or replacement of the damaged tiles in the Central Lobby, Lower Waiting Hall and St. Stephen's Hall. The parliamentary works office hopes to be able to put agreed proposals to the House in the new year.
