HC Deb 25 April 1887 vol 313 cc1798-9
DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he is now able to report the result of Dr. Percy's experiments on the exclusion of fog from the atmosphere of the House?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)

I am not able to report as to the result of the experiments. Dr. Percy has prepared an apparatus for the purpose of making experiments whenever an opportunity in the shape of a fog shall arrive; but I hope the clay may be far distant.
