§ MR. DUNCOMBE (York, E. R., Howdenshire)asked the honourable Member for North-West Staffordshire, Whether he would empower some competent sanitary engineer to investigate the causes of, and, if possible, provide some effectual remedy for, the disagreeable odours that constantly prevail in the House and Lobbies?
A LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. LEVESON GOWER) (Stafford, N. W.), in reply, said, a Committee was now engaged in investigating all the matters connected with the ventilation of the House, and it was expedient to await their Report before taking any steps.
§ MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Eccleshall)asked whether a very full Report was not made for the information of the House last year by an official of the Board of Trade; and, if so, what had become of that Report?
MR. LEVESON GOWERsaid, he understood that Report was now before the Committee, and it would guide them in their deliberations.
§ MR. DUNCOMBEasked when the Committee's Report might be expected?
MR. LEVESON GOWERsaid, the Committee had only just commenced their sittings, and he could not say when the Report might be expected.
