The question

To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, by which date all lifts in Tothill Street will be fully operational.

Answered by Nick Smith

There are three lifts in the Tothill Street building and the lifts are part of a wider six-year refurbishment programme. Lift HoP 328 has been refurbished and is now in service. Work on lift HoP 329 is underway and expected to be complete by February 2026.

Refurbishment of the final lift, HoP 330, is planned but does not yet have a confirmed date as the schedule is being reviewed. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor performance of HoP 330 and address any issues as they arise. Should a specific component need replacing we will do so.
