§ MR. WILLIAM BECKETT (Notts, Bassetlaw)asked the honourable Member for North West Staffordshire, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, Whether a sightly glass covering cannot be provided in Palace Yard so as to give Members on one side, and vehicles in waiting on the other, the same protection from the weather as is afforded at most Railway Stations?
MR. LEVESON GOWER (A LORD of the TREASURY) (Stafford, N.W.)A glass covering, similar to that provided at railway stations, could, no doubt, be erected in Palace Yard if the House were pleased to authorize the expenditure of money for that purpose; but it is difficult to see how such an erection could be made a sightly object.
