answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2015 answer text <p>In order to make space available to as many cyclists as possible, the Administration Committee agreed a bicycle parking policy in February 2014. Owners of bicycles wishing to park in the Colonnade or Star Chamber Court are required to display a numbered plastic tag obtainable from the Hall Keeper’s Lodge. Bicycles parked in those areas during sitting periods not displaying a tag will eventually be removed. Untagged bicycles which have not been claimed are put into storage on the Estate. Once put into storage, bicycles which are still not claimed after two months will be given to charity. This policy is being continued in the current parliament and new tags will be available from Hall Keeper’s Lodge shortly.</p> answering member constituency Mole Valley answering member printed Sir Paul Beresford question first answered 18/06/2015 14:07:19 answering member 103 label Biography information for Sir Paul Beresford
