To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Lord West of Spithead on 5 May (WA 104), what assessment they have made of how the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis has in the past month carried out the duty laid on him by the House of Lords' sessional order made on 3 December 2008. [HL3554]

The sessional order on stoppages in the street is a statement of the House's expectations that passage to the House will be kept free and open. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has ensured that at least partial access has been maintained at all times.
