PARLIAMENTARY PRESS GALLERY

That this House notes recent media commentary on the rolling programme of maintenance involving the Speaker's rooms; notes that ??8.2 million has been spent on the renovation of the Press Gallery; also notes that the media pays nothing for the use of the premises, nor for London telephone calls; is bemused that 10 male members of the lobby have a car parking pass for the Palace of Westminster; is conscious of the annual subsidy to the Press Bar of ??210,000; and therefore calls upon members of the Press Gallery to apply to themselves the same standards that they would demand of others.
