HC Deb 19 December 1929 vol 233 c1639W
Mr. VAUGHAN

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, seeing that, owing to the seating arrangements in this House, Members have difficulty in hearing some of their respective leaders, and are to a large extent deprived of the advantage of seeing their faces, he will consider altering the seating arrangements and providing desks similar to other modern debating chambers?

Mr. LANSBURY

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Northampton (Mr. Malone).
