Parliamentary Exhibition (Festival of Britain)

HC Deb 11 December 1950 vol 482 cc105-6W

82. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Works in view of the inadequate space provided for the Parliamentary exhibition in the Grand Committee Room during the Festival of Britain, whether he will consider obtaining the use of Westminster Hall, or part thereof, for that purpose, at least during the Parliamentary Summer Recess.

Mr. Stokes

No. The exhibition, which will take place in London during the long Recess only, is to be so constructed as to be transportable. Its size must accordingly be limited, and it has been designed to fit into the Grand Committee Room.
