§ MR. LAURIEsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Commissioner of Works, whether some mode of arrangement of the seats in the House could not be adopted to ensure accurate reports of the speeches of hon. Members.
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSSir, previously to the hon. Gentleman's notice of this question, I had heard nothing on this subject. I have had no communication from the reporters on the matter; but if the hon. Gentleman can submit to me any plan by which the object to which he refers can be better attained than at present, I shall take it into consideration.
