§ SIR JOSEPH M'KENNA (for Mr. M. BROOKS)asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he has observed the brilliant gas lamps placed on the end of Westminster Bridge, opposite to the St. Stephen's Club, and if he would consider whether some of those lamps might not be placed at the entrance to Westminster Hall and at the entrance to the House?
§ MR. GERARD NOEL, in reply, said, he had seen the lamps in question. No doubt they were very brilliant, and far superior to the general run of street lamps; but at the present moment, when there was so much difference of opinion in regard to street lighting, he thought it would be undesirable to incur any large expenditure in making alterations in the lamps to the entrances to Westminster Hall and the House of Commons.
