London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

Debate between Mike Freer and Chris Williamson

Wednesday 25th January 2012 Commons Chamber

[Chris Williamson]

If I may, I will pass on that question. Perhaps the sponsor of the Bill will clarify the situation.

[Mike Freer]

I understand that the Palace of Westminster, as a royal palace, would be exempt, but that because Whitehall Government buildings are public buildings, they would be expected to keep their perimeters clean and tidy.

[Chris Williamson]

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for providing that clarification in response to his hon. Friend’s question.
