§ Lord Cocks of Hartcliffeasked the Chairman of Committees:
What was the original estimate of the cost of the ramp installed in Royal Court; what was its final cost; and by how much was the final cost increased by the failure to deal properly with the drainpipe on installation.
§ The Chairman of Committees (Lord Ampthill)The original tender price for the disabled ramp in Royal Court was £40,000. After additional works were added including kerbs and re-routing of the downpipe, the final cost will be approximately £43,000. Of this, the work to re-route the downpipe is estimated to have cost approximately £900.
