Parliament Square

Debate between Lord Boston of Faversham and Baroness Neville-Jones

Monday 8th November 2010 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Neville-Jones]

My Lords, as many noble Lords may know, the problem is that no single authority owns Parliament Square. Westminster Council has responsibility for the pavements on the southern and western sides of the square and the GLA has responsibility for the pavements on the northern and eastern sides and for the grass. This means that we have to have partnership between these various agencies, and the Government have been involved in fostering that in order to bring about improvement in the square.

[Lord Boston of Faversham]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that the most effective agency to remove these people in Parliament Square would be the noble Baroness, Lady Trumpington?
