asked the Lord President of the Council (1) if he will take steps to replace all the photocopying machines in the Norman Shaw North building which have been persistently out of order since the beginning of December; and if he will make a statement on the inadequate photo-copying facilities for Members, secretaries and research assistants in the Norman Shaw North building;(2) what steps he is taking to ensure that the photo-copying machines in the Norman Shaw North building which have repeatedly broken down during the last two weeks will be repaired in such a manner that they will not break down so soon after the repairs have been completed.
As a result of the poor performance of four of the existing photocopying machines in Norman Shaw North, the Authorities of the House have recently been in touch with Her Majesty's Stationery Office regarding their replacement.
