§ CAPTAIN COTTON (Cheshire, Wirral)asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether anything has been considered with regard to electrical communication to different parts of the House, as promised on the 11th March last; and, if nothing has been yet considered, whether he can undertake to provide some such system of communication during the forthcoming Recess?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)(who replied) said: In the unavoidable absence of my right hon. and learned Friend, I beg to say that this matter has been under the consideration of the Office of Works since March last, and that some difficulties which arose had not yet been overcome when the recent change of Government took place. The present First Commissioner will carefully consider the matter, and will endeavour, during the Recess, to provide hon. Members with the facilities which they desire.
