<p>The House of Commons and the House of Lords are jointly responsible for the Palace
of Westminster. The Strategic Estates department is a bicameral department and is
responsible for delivering capital investment across the Parliamentary Estate. As
at 14 February the department consisted of 64 (47%) women and 72 (53%) men. These
staff work on a bicameral basis and it is not possible to allocate specific figures
to those working on each part of the Estate. In addition to these staff, as at 14
February there were 2,620 contractor passes issued to the teams responsible for construction
works and maintenance of the Palace and other areas of the Parliamentary Estate. Of
these, 312 (11.9%) were issued to women.</p>
