§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Chairman of the Accommodation and Works Committee, pursuant to his answer a 8 February,Official Report, columns 243–46, if he visited Westminster Hall on 9 February; and if he will make a statement on the means of access and the facilities that were made available to disabled people attending the lobby by disabled people held on that day.
§ Mr. Ray PowellI visited Westminster Hall during the course of the mass lobby and was satisfied that the arrangements for access to the hall itself were satisfactory. The Committee's proposals to improve access for disabled people to the Grand Committee Room from Westminster Hall are described in my answer to my hon. Friend on 8 February, columns243–46. The facilities provided for the organisation of a mass lobby are a matter for the Administration Committee and my hon. Friend may wish to refer any specific matter of particular concern to that Committee.
