Question

To ask The Senior Deputy Speaker what steps are being taken to enable peers expeditiously to get from Millbank House to Peers' Entrance when the pavement is congested, particularly at peak times for tourism.

The existing security and access arrangements have been developed to allow Members to move around and between parts of the Estate safely. Black Rod’s Office will continue to monitor this situation, working with security officers and the Metropolitan Police to ensure that these arrangements are operating as intended. Black Rod would welcome any further details on this matter.
