There are two areas at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre at Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, set aside for people wishing to attend the public evidence sessions. The first is the hearing room itself, where 60 seats are available. The second is an additional viewing room in the centre, where a further 50 seats are available to watch a closed circuit television feed.
Morning sessions are scheduled to run from 10am to 1.30pm, afternoon sessions from 2pm to 5pm. Public sessions will be streamed on the internet.
Those wishing to attend need to register for a pass; the registration desk opens an hour before the start of a session. Proof of identity – either a driving licence or passport – is required to obtain a pass.
