Asked by: Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 24th June 2025

Question

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker what assessment he has made of whether the microphones and audio system in the Moses Room are fit for purpose.

Answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble

The sound system in the Moses room is due to be replaced as part of a project upgrading the facilities across Committee Rooms.

Asked by: Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 24th June 2025

Question

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker whether all the microphones in the Chamber work; and, if not, what plans there are to repair them.

Answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble

The microphones in the Chamber are tested each day in advance of the sitting of the House and are in full working order.

House of Lords: Audio Equipment
Asked by: Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 24th June 2025

Question

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker what consideration he has given to commissioning a review by independent consultants to determine whether the microphones and audio systems in the House of Lords are of a satisfactory standard.

Answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble

A project led by an independent consultant is currently underway to upgrade the sound systems in both Houses. The suspended microphones in the Lords Chamber were replaced in 2017 and are professional studio quality models. The four main table microphones are to be replaced this summer with similar quality models.

The loudspeakers installed in the backs of all bench seating were replaced last summer with modern models designed for high speech intelligibility. Some deep structural cabling issues with a small number of the speakers are currently being investigated and it is intended that these issues will be resolved over the summer recess.
