HC Deb 13 March 1882 vol 267 c741
MR. DONALDSON-HUDSON

asked the First Commissioner of Works, If he will inform the House whether there is any probability of the system of electric lighting by means of incandescent lamps being tested in the House of Commons during the present Session?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

I propose, Sir, to try the incandescent electric light in the New Law Courts. Until I see the result of that experiment I do not think it would be advisable to make another experiment in this House.
