Question

To ask The Senior Deputy Speaker how many personal evacuation plans are in place in the House of Lords, and how many were used in the evacuation on 2 July.

The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chair of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. It is understood that there are currently 14 Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) in place for members of the House of Lords. The nature of the exercise means it is not possible to identify whether and how every PEEP holder participated in it.
