<p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chairman of the Services Committee,
to respond on his behalf.</p><p>The Services Committee considered the possibility
of introducing electric vehicle charging (EVC) points at its meeting on 14 March 2019.
The Committee declined to agree a proposal to introduce EVC points to the House of
Lords. Although the Committee recognised the benefits, it did not believe it was the
appropriate time to implement the scheme.</p><p>Amongst other factors, the Committee
considered the location and impact of the EVC points, the longevity of the proposed
installation of charging points, which risked being decommissioned when Restoration
and Renewal commenced, the need for a long term vision for EVC across the Estate,
and concerns that the proposal did not provide value for money.</p>
