Written question asked by Lord Laird (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Brabazon of Tara (Non-affiliated) on Thursday, 17 January 2008.
House of Lords: Dress Code
- Question
- asked the Chairman of Committees:Further to his Written Answer on 22 October 2007 (WA 83) concerning the dress code in the House of Lords, what steps have been taken to enforce the dress code; and what success there has been.
- Answer
-
I am not aware of any complaints regarding violation of the dress code. The House authorities have reminded staff of their role in advising Members and their guests of the agreed dress code in the Peers’ Dining Room, the Guest Dining Room, the Guest Room bar and the Barry Room. A reminder of the rules was also issued in the December edition of the Red Benches newsletter for Members. Ultimately, Members themselves are responsible for maintaining the dress standards.
