Wellington, June 3 NZPA - The Beehive roof is a bit leaky but there isn't any money to fix it.

Parliamentary Service general manager Geoff Thorn told the Government Administration committee the maintenance plan for Parliament's buildings was "under some pressure", the New Zealand Herald reported.

Some parts of the Beehive, including its copper roof and the press gallery offices, missed out when the building had a $54 million refurbishment in 2006.

Mr Thorn told the committee there was not enough money in the current allocation for building maintenance to repair the roof or to complete refurbishment at Bowen House on Lambton Quay where a number of MPs have offices but that should be available next year.

A spokesman for Parliamentary Service said the leaks were minor and were being minimised.
