Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, when he plans to reply to the letter from the hon. Member for Walsall North, dated 8 August 2016, on the renewal and restoration of the Commons building; and what the reason is for no reply having yet been sent.

I regret that the hon. Member’s letter of 8 August was never received. I have now received a copy of the letter and responded on 7 September.
