Notes
The old Committee Rooms, surveyed by Soane in December 1824, were bounded on the north and south by the Painted Chamber and the Scala Regia, with the Royal Entrance to the west and the Royal Gallery to the east. The irregular layout of the rooms is an indication of the age of these buildings. The principal floor contains a double-height lobby to the House of Lords, a committee room and the Bishops' and Archbishops' Robing Rooms.
