Palace Of Westminster: Security Passes

asked the Chairman of Committees:How many photographic security passes admitting entry to the parliamentary estate have been issued to employees of the BBC or persons contracted by the BBC; and how many have similarly been issued to other broadcasting organisations. [HL4365]

There are currently 111 security passes issued to persons employed or contracted by the BBC, and 78 security passes issued to other broadcasting organisations.

Supreme Court: Middlesex Guildhall

asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Ashton of Upholland on 16 September (

WA 202), whether they will now answer the questions:

(a) who are the present occupants of the Middlesex Guildhall;

(b) where they will be relocated if the premises are required for a Supreme Court;

(c) what is the estimated inclusive cost of such relocation; and

(d) what is the estimated cost of converting the Middlesex Guildhall for a Supreme Court (excluding the estimated cost of the library).

[HL4310]

The Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs and Lord Chancellor

(Lord Falconer of Thoroton)

Middlesex Guildhall is presently occupied by the staff (Court Service) and judiciary of the Crown Court. As regards relocation and costs, I refer the noble and learned Lord to Baroness Ashton's previous Answer given on 23 September 2004 (HL4195). When an announcement on the building is made, further information on costs will be provided.

European Convention On Human Rights

asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Ashton of Upholland on 14 September (

WA 182), whether they have sought the views of other governments or independent legal experts about the meaning and effect of Protocol 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights. [HL4313]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs

(Baroness Ashton of Upholland)

The Government invited representations from a wide range of individuals and organisations in the UK at the outset of their recent interdepartmental review of international human rights instruments. They did not seek the views of other governments. Professor Sandra Fredman of Oxford University and Dr Robert Wintemute of King's College London were among the independent legal experts who contributed views on the meaning and effect of Protocol 12.

Thameslink 2000

asked Her Majesty's Government:What is the timescale for the implementation of Thameslink 2000 to improve the Thameslink railway line between London and the south-east. [HL4344]

Network Rail's application for a Transport and Works Act order was considered at a public inquiry between June 2000 and May 2001. A decision on the project was deferred pending the resolution of three deficiencies identified by the inspector in his report, relating to the design of the scheme in central London. Network Rail has now submitted further applications addressing these issues, which are likely to be considered by a public inquiry next year.
