uin	7909
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2024 answer text <p>It is not possible to give a fair and accurate number spent on the (a) purchase and (b) installation of all fire doors in the Palace of Westminster since 2010. This is because fire doors are routinely refurbished or replaced as part of wider projects, and information recorded on building and maintenance projects does not specifically identify which involved installing new fire doors.</p><p>There was a fire door and compartmentation project that took place from 2016–2020. This project focused on the refurbishment and conservation of doors, rather than the installation of new doors. The team worked on 721 doors across the Palace of Westminster, only a handful of which were purchased and installed as new. The total cost of the project amounted to £5.2 million, which covered not only the work on the doors but out of hours working (so as not to disrupt the business of the House) and work to replace glazed panels or large bespoke doors.</p><p>It would not be possible to break down the cost by door nor the cost to install the small number of new doors that were purchased as part of this particular project.</p><p>As a member of the Parliamentary Fire Safety Committee, I would be happy to take forward any concerns from the right hon. Member for Suffolk Coastal and ensure they are promptly addressed.</p> answering member constituency Broxbourne answering member printed Sir Charles Walker question first answered 11/01/2024 19:00:51 answering member 1493 label Biography information for Sir Charles Walker previous answer version 10281 answering member constituency Broxbourne answering member printed Sir Charles Walker answering member 1493 label Biography information for Sir Charles Walker
