The Commission also agreed to return to this matter on a six-monthly basis. The Commission did so on 29 October 2018, also giving due weight to the reference to access to alcohol within the Dame Laura Cox report on bullying and harassment.

However, due to the age and condition of the Palace of Westminster it is difficult to improve both the wiring that is available and to supplement the wireless connectivity.</p><p>The average download speeds on these services will vary as it depends on a number of factors such as the capability of the user’s device, the connection type (wired/wireless), the size of download, the current bandwidth utilisation on any given day and the volume of users/devices connected, as these internet services and bandwidths are shared with all users across the Parliamentary estate. Due to these factors, the Digital Service does not hold data relating to the average download speed.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Public Service (Social Value) Act 2012 requires a relevant authority buying services to consider how what is being procured might improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of the “relevant area”. Parliament does not have a “relevant area” for the purposes of the Act, and therefore the Act’s provisions cannot formally be applied to Parliamentary contracts. Parliament does, however, have a Sustainable Purchasing Policy which sets a range of social, economic and environmental objectives which must be considered whenever procuring contracts with third party suppliers. Objectives of this kind are included in the terms and conditions of parliamentary contracts and any relevant outcomes and performance measures are monitored and reported during contract delivery.</p><p>The House Service awards contracts, including maintenance works, on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender in accordance with the statutory regime set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 prohibit Parliament from insisting on the use of products “of a specific origin”. It would therefore have been unlawful to impose a requirement for the material used to be British. The contract for the refurbishment of the Elizabeth Tower, which was awarded to Sir Robert McAlpine, requires that they procure services, supplies and works in order to achieve the most economically advantageous outcome to ensure completion of the contract.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Parliament has no plans to mark the 375th anniversary of the Solemn League and Covenant. A check of Parliamentary records suggests that we have not marked such anniversaries in the past. In 2018 Parliament will celebrate the centenary of the passing of the Representation of the People Act, as well as commemorating 100 years since the end of the First World War. Parliament has a busy schedule of activities throughout 2018 to engage the public in the role of Parliament through these anniversaries.</p> more like this
