Written question asked by Lord Palmer (Crossbench) on Monday, 12 January 2015, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 26 January 2015. It was answered by Lord Sewel (Non-affiliated) on Thursday, 22 January 2015 on behalf of the Chairman of Committees (HL).


House of Lords: Restaurants

Question

To ask the Chairman of Committees why new chairs have been placed in the River Restaurant; how much they cost; whether estimates were obtained for the cost of chairs with and without the Portcullis; what happened to the old chairs; and what was the salvage value of the old chairs.

Answer

The chairs recently placed in the River Restaurant were previously in storage and so there was no cost in this financial year. The new chairs provide greater back support than the benches formerly used. Those benches have been placed into storage; no estimate has been made of their salvage value.
