The number of moth infestations reported in each of the last three years is as follows:<\/p>
2021 \u2013 27
2022 \u2013 44
2023 \u2013 61<\/p>
All moth related monitoring and required subsequent treatments are included in the annual contract fee with our pest control expert. This is inclusive of any number of visits, monitoring devices, additional treatments, preventative maintenance visits or reactive responses that may be needed to treat a problem. As such, no additional costs are incurred.<\/p>
It is not possible to calculate how many devices have been installed in each of the last three years. However, a total of 982 monitoring devices have been installed during a permanent moth prevention programme which has been running since 2008.<\/p>
The current number of devices installed is 751. This current count is subject to constant fluctuation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Charles Walker"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxbourne"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sir Charles Walker"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "8801"} , {"_value" : "8802"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-15T17:20:08.683Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "18"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Parliamentary Estate: Moths"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the hon.

It is not possible to give a fair and accurate number spent on the (a) purchase and (b) installation of all fire doors in the Palace of Westminster since 2010. This is because fire doors are routinely refurbished or replaced as part of wider projects, and information recorded on building and maintenance projects does not specifically identify which involved installing new fire doors.<\/p>
There was a fire door and compartmentation project that took place from 2016\u20132020. This project focused on the refurbishment and conservation of doors, rather than the installation of new doors. The team worked on 721 doors across the Palace of Westminster, only a handful of which were purchased and installed as new. The total cost of the project amounted to £5.2 million, which covered not only the work on the doors but out of hours working (so as not to disrupt the business of the House) and work to replace glazed panels or large bespoke doors.<\/p>
It would not be possible to break down the cost by door nor the cost to install the small number of new doors that were purchased as part of this particular project.<\/p>
As a member of the Parliamentary Fire Safety Committee, I would be happy to take forward any concerns from the right hon. Member for Suffolk Coastal and ensure they are promptly addressed.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Charles Walker"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxbourne"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sir Charles Walker"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1679506/answer/previousversion/10281", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Charles Walker"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxbourne"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sir Charles Walker"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-11T19:00:51.597Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "18"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Palace of Westminster: Fire Prevention"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the hon.

In the past three years 2,002 mechanical incidents relating to lifts across the Parliamentary estate have been reported.<\/p>
A lift refurbishment programme commenced in 2020 which aims to improve reliability and decrease unplanned downtime through mechanical upgrades. More than 60 lifts are being refurbished during a six-year phased approach programme. These lifts are situated within the Palace of Westminster, Portcullis House, and two outbuildings not on the main estate. The programme is due to end in 2026.<\/p>"}

In the past three years a total of 11,182 plumbing incidents have been reported across the Parliamentary estate:<\/p>
We have had multiple issues with toilets in Portcullis House due to the quality of the water in the system. To address this, new equipment, including a filtration system, was installed in Autumn 2023. An initial fault with this system was rectified by mid-November. A longer-term solution to improve the water quality is being planned by the Strategic Estates team.<\/p>"}
