Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Berkeley (Labour). It was answered by Lord Brabazon of Tara (Non-affiliated) on Thursday, 7 December 2006.
Houses of Parliament: World Squares for All
- Question
- What progress has been made in the world squares project for Parliament Square and Old Palace Yard and the consequent impact on security.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the latest stage of the world squares project is the development of proposals for the implementation of the mayor’s Parliament Square public spaces scheme. That involves reorganising the road system, closing Broad Sanctuary on the north side of St Margaret’s Church and making Parliament Square accessible to pedestrians. It is planned that the work will be completed by 2012. There will be no impact on our security measures. I placed a paper illustrating the proposed changes to the road system in the Library of the House today.
