§ MR. HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)asked the First Commissioner of Works, If, for the convenience of strangers, and the compression of room in the Members' Gallery, arrangements could be made similar to those in the French Chamber for visitors so disposed to deposit, for a small regulated charge, their hats, great coats, umbrellas, and sticks; and, in such case, if the wide corridor leading to the gallery, and the services of a deserving member of the Police Pensioners' Employment Association, could be utilised for the purpose without expense to the general public?
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)I am anxious, as far as possible, to provide for the convenience of strangers visiting the House of Commons; and I hope that next Session we may be able to do something further in that direction. 825 I shall then consult with the Serjeant-at-Arms how far the suggestion of my hon. Friend can be carried out.
