Question

To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the House of Commons Commission, what the cost was of the installation of rodent devices across the Estate in the last year.

The cost of rodent devices cannot be disaggregated from general pest control costs and is delivered on a bicameral basis. Pest control costs for the 2022 financial year are below:

1) Bird control costs vary from year to year as necessity fluctuates depending on the level of pests presenting a risk of damage to stonework.

2) General Controls include the cost of a full-time pest control technician and all traps and baits not covered elsewhere.
