It replaced an oval device, which had been in use since the turn of the twentieth century, on the recommendation of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services). The portcullis probably came to be associated with the Palace of Westminster through its use, along with Tudor roses, fleurs-de-lys and pomegranates, as decoration in the rebuilding of the Palace after the fire of 1512. -

Report and accounts of the Duchy of Lancaster for the year ended 31 March 2014 The Duchy of Lancaster Annual Report 2014 The Duchy seeks to achieve a balance between long-term commitments to the environment, social responsibility, and commercial objectives. This approach helps to protect the interests of those individuals living in, working on and visiting the Duchy’s land and buildings while safeguarding the estate for future generations.
