Question

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker how long the lights in Millbank House will be permanently switched on without any means to switch them off.

The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me as Chairman of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. Problems have been experienced with the lighting system installed in 1 Millbank. It appears that the controlling software has been corrupted, resulting in some users being unable to turn on or turn off particular lighting units. A solution is being urgently sought.
