answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2023 answer text <p>The strong advice to all members is that debating the drivers behind specific security projects, and the plans to address security weaknesses, should not be raised in any public forum as to do so may heighten the security threat.</p><p>Members are always welcome to contact the Director of Security to discuss any security-related concerns privately.</p><p>The Peers’ Portico project has been approved by the Clerk of the Parliaments and Clerk of the House who, as Accounting Officers and Corporate Officers, are legally accountable for ensuring the safety of all members, staff and visitors on the Parliamentary Estate as a whole. Before coming to their decision, they considered professional security advice, the external professional security validation of that advice, and the views of members on the Commission, the Services Committee, the Finance Committee and members more widely. Ultimately it is not the House that makes the final decision because security is a bicameral issue, and legal responsibility for safety sits with the Clerk of the Parliaments and Clerk of the House.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 14/02/2023 11:54:12 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
