answer text <p>The figures below reflect the spend on traffic marshals for each financial year (April to March) from 2019 to 2024.</p><p>The figures include use of traffic marshals to manage the movement of traffic and/or pedestrians (a) in the Palace and along the spine road, (b) in and out of the underground car park, and (c) on laundry road in the Northern Estate. The figures are all excluding VAT.</p><p>The figures below do not include costs where it has not been possible to extrapolate the cost of marshal provision from the overall contract for works.</p><p /> <p><strong>Financial years 2019 to 2023 </strong></p><p>2019–2020 £176,069</p><p>2020–2021 £199,471</p><p>2021–2022 £257,534</p><p>2022–2023 £598,534</p><p> </p><p><strong><br>Financial year 2023–2024</strong></p><p>The costs for the 2023–2024 financial year are not comparable to the previous years.</p><p>Prior to 2023–24 the cost of the traffic marshals for the underground car park, required to facilitate the works in New Palace Yard, was covered by the contractor, as part of the project costs, and not included above. These costs are now covered by the House directly as efficiencies had been identified.</p><p>The underground car park requires 24/7 cover due to the closure of one of the ramps into the car park necessary to facilitate the works in the New Palace Yard. The costs include unsociable working hours, bank holidays and weekends.</p><p>For the 2023–2024 financial year, the cost for traffic marshals, excluding underground car park marshals, is forecast to be £647,763.</p><p>For the same period, the cost for the underground car park marshals is forecast to be £1,271,966.</p>

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>
