HC Deb 20 May 1992 vol 208 c143W
Mr. David Shaw

To ask the hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, as representing the House of Commons Commission, if he will make a statement on the progress of the cleaning of the external faces of the interior walls of the Palace of Westminster; and if he will take steps to ensure this work is completed in the current Parliament.

Mr. Beith

The current stage of the programme of external stone cleaning and restoration at the Palace of Westminster, which covers the south elevation and the Victoria Tower is on programme for completion in 1994. Before that, a programme will be agreed for the next stages covering the internal courtyards so that this work can continue.

Forward to
