§ MR. O'SHEAasked the First Commissioner of Works his intentions with regard to the electric light in this House?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREsaid, he gathered from the general opinion of Members that they were not satisfied with the electric lighting of the House. The experiment, however, it was only right to say, had been tried under considerable disadvantage. The manager of the Company told him that many improvements could still be effected, especially with reference to the position of the lamps, which could not be made so long as it was necessary to maintain the existing gas lights. Under these circumstances, further experiments would be postponed until the Recess.
