It is not quite the Highland Clearances, but the Evening Standard’s Joe Murphy and Nicholas Cecil report that four Welsh MPs have been evicted from St Stephen’s Tower in the House of Commons to make way for David Cameron, who has been given a new office there.
The Evening Standard had a peek into the office in the Palace of Westminster where he will start his new life as a backbench MP and discovered that it boasts a medieval-style stone staircase, oak panelling and painted ceilings.Staff were sprucing up the hastily emptied suite in St Stephen’s Tower for its new occupant, cleaning a stain from the green carpet, after four Tory MPs were kicked out to make way for him.Crates with Mr Cameron’s name on were stacked outside, while the names of three of his key staff were written on notes attached to some of the desks.The suite, which is 20ft wide and 24ft long, has commanding views of Westminster Abbey and the ancient Jewel House — part of the original Royal Palace.Until yesterday it was home to at least four Welsh MPs who, colleagues say, were given 24 hours’ notice to move out.
Presumably the Welsh MPs are being rehoused somewhere else on the parliamentary estate.
