<p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chairman of the Services Committee,
to respond on his behalf. The temporary fire doors needed to be installed to ensure
mitigation to Fire Life Safety non-compliance. The floor springs and hinges of the
original doors had deteriorated to the extent that it was not possible to ensure compliance.
Work had to be undertaken requiring their removal and replacement with temporary fire
doors.</p><p>Consideration was given to disabled users; the temporary doors are in
excess of current part M Building Regulations, requiring minimum 800mm width doors,
as 830mm wide doors have been installed which fully comply with both Part M (access)
and Part B (fire) requirements. The original doors will be returned from mid-November
to the end of November.</p>
