Proceeding contribution from Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 July 2019. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Buildings (Restoration and Renewal) Bill.


Parliamentary Buildings (Restoration and Renewal) Bill

I hope I made clear earlier that we have agreed that we will bring forward an amendment in this House that will look at putting heritage in the Bill. As I also mentioned, we need to balance that with making sure that any renewal and restoration of the building takes into account modernisation and things that other noble Lords are

keen on—for instance, improving disability access and ensuring that it is open and available to the public who want to come. We will bring forward an amendment in this House during the passage of the Bill to achieve, I hope, that balance. On that note, I beg to move.
