Houses of Parliament: Cycle Hire

Lord Skelmersdale Excerpts

Wednesday 27th October 2010 Lords Chamber

[The Chairman of Committees]

My Lords, a taxi rank takes us a little way away from the original Question on the Order Paper, but there are facilities at Peers’ Entrance for summoning taxis which I hope noble Lords find satisfactory.

[Lord Skelmersdale]

My Lords, may I have an assurance from the Chairman of Committees that this is a matter purely for your Lordships’ House and your Lordships’ authorities and has nothing to do with another place?

[The Chairman of Committees]

No, my Lords, I cannot give that assurance. If there was a possibility of having a docking station in the vicinity, it might be either on part of the Commons estate or part of the Lords estate. However, it would probably be excessive to have one on each.
