Question

To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker whether there are plans to erect observation towers in front of Peers' Entrance to provide security officers a clear view of St Margaret’s Street over the security fence.

There are no plans to erect observation towers in front of the Peers’ Entrance. The design of the Abingdon Street fence components was undertaken to carefully balance security requirements and heritage considerations, whilst maintaining necessary lines of sight for the security personnel working in this area, including at nearby entrances.
