Proceeding contribution from Ann Widdecombe (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [Lords].


Mental Health Bill [Lords]

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. May I draw to your attention the situation with regard to the lifts in 1 Parliament Street? Every time there is a Division—and I do mean every time—Members stand outside those lifts, sometimes for anything up to three minutes, waiting for one of them to do its job. The middle lift does not work at all and the two lifts either side of it have been subject to a long programme of so-called maintenance, which has meant that they do not do the job that they are meant to do. In view of the fact that we have only a limited amount of time to get to Divisions, will you draw this problem to the attention of the Serjeant at Arms, with a strong request for a solution?
