HC Deb 20 January 1998 vol 304 c485W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Chairman of the Administration Committee what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the present system of allocating passes to hon. Members' research assistants. [21749]

Mrs. Roe

The principles underlying the issue of photo-identity passes to Members' staff were last considered by the Administration Committee in February 1996, in the context of requests by individual Members for extra Research Assistants' passes. The then Committee continued to endorse the recommendations of the Services Committee, contained in its Second Report of Session 1987–1988 (HC 850), as agreed by the House on 30 January 1989.
