<p>The House authorities, in conjunction with the police, assess all Parliamentary
activity each week. This assessment is based on risk and considers all events, including
banqueting, committees, meetings and other Parliamentary business. Security provision
is based on risk and threat and comprises many different actions which we cannot disclose
in full.</p><p>Unaccompanied non-passholders accessing the Parliamentary estate in
order to use refreshment facilities are restricted to a limited number of areas. These
areas, and routes to and from the entrances and exits to the estate, are carefully
controlled by security and other House staff to minimise the risk of non-passholders
accessing other parts of the estate. We encourage all Members and staff to challenge
any unaccompanied non-passholders who are found in a restricted area and to alert
security staff to their presence.</p><p>All non-passholders are subject to search
and screening measures before entering the estate and may not bring onto the estate
prohibited items. Further information about these measures can be found on the Parliamentary
website: <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/visiting/access/security/" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/visiting/access/security/</a>.</p>
