§ Mrs. FyfeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his reply of 28 February, whether any work other than safety work has been carried out on the Palace of Westminster rifle range; and what is the annual cost of providing this facility for hon. Members and others.
§ Mr. ChopeSafety work, and the consequent making good, was carried out to allow the range to continue to be used for rifle shooting and to extend its use to pistol shooting. Apart from heating and lighting, which is not separately monitored, the only other costs borne on the parliamentary works subhead (class XX, vote 18) is for occasional minor maintenance.
