	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>The Lord Speaker’s Advisory Panel on Works of Art and the Speaker’s Advisory Committee on Works of Art, with the support of the staff in the Heritage Collections team, develop and manage the Parliamentary Art Collection including its care, display and interpretation. The current concerns around public art are being taken very seriously and both the Panel and the Committee will consider these issues at their next meetings.</p><p>In advance of this the Heritage Collections team are reviewing the works in the Collection and will be presenting the Panel and Committee with information and proposals for further interpretation. The Parliamentary Art Collection website is currently the main platform for providing context to the artworks in the Collection and further supporting information is provided to visitors by the Visit Parliament team, who deliver guided and audio tours. As a listed building and a busy working parliament, there is a limit on the amount of printed information that can be added next to artworks on display in the building but the possibilities for leaflets and other forms of information being made available are being considered. The Heritage Collections team continue to work with colleagues across Parliament to ensure that the context provided about works in the Collection are appropriate.</p><p>The Parliamentary Art Collection documents the history of Parliament and in recent years efforts to make the Collection more diverse and inclusive have been pursued by both the Panel and Committee. In 2019 the Panel secured the loan of a bust of Lord Constantine, the first black Life Peer, from the National Portrait Gallery to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his taking his seat in the House of Lords. The bust is now on long term display in Millbank House.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 25/06/2020 15:27:06 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2020 answer text <p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chair of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. <br>We have sought advice from Public Health England in developing a policy on testing. Our policy remains that we adhere to applicable Government and PHE guidance, which is that anyone who is symptomatic should seek a test. That guidance also suggests testing of key workers who are self-isolating or whose household contains someone exhibiting the three main COVID-19 symptoms. The Parliamentary authorities have put in place a limited capacity for delivery of these tests. The testing is in order to maintain the resilience of the operation of the Chamber and committees. As testing is only availability in these limited circumstances, there is no advice on the frequency of testing. <br>No one should come onto the Estate if they have symptoms, for any reason.</p> answering member printed Lord Laming question first answered 30/09/2020 11:40:21 answering member 2079 label Biography information for Lord Laming
