HC Deb 05 July 1889 vol 337 c1578
MR. HOWARD VINCENT

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if, in the allocation of the new rooms at his disposal on the west side of Westminster Hall, ho will be able to comply with the widely-felt wish among honourable Members that a room in which they could dress, without returning home, for evening meetings in which they have to take part, in the discharge of their political duties, would be a great convenience, and enable them on such occasions to give additional time to legislative attendance?

MR. R. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)

Has the right hon. Gentleman heard that there is a widely-felt wish on the part of Members of this House to change within the precincts of the House from ordinary dress to Court or military dress?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. PLUNKET,) University of Dublin

I hope it will be possible to some extent to carry out the suggestions of my hon. Friend. it would be, I think, a little Pharisaic to limit the change of dress to any special occasion.
