Written question asked by Lord Palmer (Crossbench) on Monday, 23 May 2016, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 7 June 2016. It was answered by Lord Laming (Non-affiliated) on Monday, 6 June 2016 on behalf of the Chairman of Committees (HL).


House of Lords: Sanitation

Question

To ask the Chairman of Committees how much it cost to refurbish the Cholmondeley Room toilets, and why those toilets were out of service so soon after their six-month refurbishment.

Answer

The works to the Cholmondeley Room toilets are not yet completed. They should be completed in the next month. The estimated budget is £650,000 (of which the Lords’ share is 40%).

A number of unforeseen technical difficulties mean that the works are slightly behind schedule; although two of the toilets have re-opened, some underlying problems are still being resolved.
