HC Deb 15 January 2002 vol 378 c169W
Mr. Simon Thomas

To ask the President of the Council what proposals he plans to make to the Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons for improving the facilities for families in the House. [25060]

Mr. Robin Cook

Responsibility for improving facilities for Members in the House rests with the Accommodation Committee.

However, I understand that some work has already been carried out in improving the facilities in the Families Room and the Refreshment Department. An experimental play scheme last summer adjournment was successful and we hope to repeat it. If any Member has further proposals, I would be happy to consider how best to take them forward.
