Answer

The Assembly Commission is committed to maintaining Parliament Buildings and the surrounding grounds in keeping with its Grade A listed status. As part of this ongoing effort, work will take place during the summer recess to repoint the cobblestones and replace damaged flagstones.

These repairs have been scheduled to follow the recent specialist stone cleaning, as some of the damage was worsened by the use of the cherry picker during that process.
