To ask the Chairman of Committees why the mispatterned tile which was a memorial of the spot where Prime Minister Spencer Perceval was assassinated has been removed from St Stephen's Hall; and whether it can be replaced.

The tiles in St Stephen’s Hall were not in a special pattern to mark the spot of Spencer Perceval’s assassination as some have suggested; they were poor repairs done after the original tiles were damaged during the Second World War. A plaque has been erected in St Stephen’s Hall near the spot where Spencer Perceval was assassinated.
To ask the Chairman of Committees whether there are plans to mark the assassination of Prime Minister Spencer Perceval in 1812; if so, what those plans are; and if not, why not.[HL482]

The House of Lords has no such plans. A series of events was held in 2012 to mark the 200th anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister Spencer Perceval. The House of Commons authorities plan to erect a plaque in St Stephen’s Hall near the spot where Spencer Perceval was assassinated.
My hon. Friend makes an interesting point. I am sure that I have had the same experience as many other Members of reaching that part in my tour for constituents visiting the Palace and pointing out the tiles that are not in the proper formation. It was a way of...

Will the Leader of the House look into the fact that following the impressive renovation of the encaustic tiles in St Stephen’s Lobby, the spot that has traditionally marked the assassination of one of my predecessors, the Member for Northampton, Spencer Perceval, who was Prime Minister in 1812, has been...

To ask the Chairman of Committees whether he will invite the House Committee to support placing a plaque on the spot where Spencer Perceval was shot on 11 May 1812 and moving the incorrectly placed tiles.[HL792]

The placement of a plaque on the site of the assassination, in St Stephen’s Hall, would require approval from both Houses. In the House of Lords, approval would be needed from the Administration and Works Committee. In the House of Commons, the Administration Committee would consider such matters and make a recommendation to Mr Speaker, who would decide whether to approve it. I would be content to put this matter before the Administration and Works Committee for consideration if the noble Lord was to write to me with a formal proposal.
The floor tiles around the area of the assassination were badly damaged during the Second World War and have been repaired over the years with spare tiles which were in stock. Three years ago, the Parliamentary Estates Directorate embarked on a programme to repair the tiles in St Stephen’s Hall and, as part of that programme, the original pattern of tiles around the site of the assassination will be restored, with replicas where necessary. It is hoped that this work will be completed in the next 12 months.
The question of whether to have a statue or memorial is a matter not for the Government but for you, Mr Speaker, and the Commission. Spencer Perceval’s family used to live in my old constituency in Ealing, where a church, All Saints church, has been built in his memory and...

As you will be aware, Mr Speaker, 200 years ago tomorrow Spencer Perceval was assassinated in the House of Commons, yet the only thing marking where he fell are a few irregularly placed floor tiles. May we have a statement on whether we might put in place a more fitting...
