Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Renton (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 12 July 2006.


Palace of Westminster: Vehicle Access

Question
My Lords, will the Government bear it in mind that in the interests of security, and the great need for it, it would be better not to have increased vehicular access to the Palace of Westminster?
Answer

My Lords, it is difficult to know how we would supply the Palace of Westminster with food and drink, and everything else we use—including plastic bags—unless there was vehicular access, and access for Peers as well.
