§ Mr. TylerTo ask the Chairman of the Administration Committee what steps are being taken to improve access and facilities for storage for the bicycles of hon. Members, staff and visitors in the Palace of Westminster.
§ Mr. Michael J. MartinRacks are provided under cover for 12 bicycles in Star Chamber Court, for 32 bicycles in the colonnade in New Palace Yard, and for 15 bicycles in the 1 Cannon Row courtyard, for the use of hon. Members and staff. There are racks for a further 12 bicycles in the store at the exit to the underground car park. In random checks, the Serjeant at Arms has always found spare capacity available among the existing racks.
There are no plans to increase the number, or to provide facilities for the storage of visitors' bicycles.
