§ SIR HENRY ROSCOE (Manchester, S.)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether the statement is correct that he is not satisfied with the condition of the Ventilation of this House, and that he is about to take steps to have it improved; and whether, if so, he will re-appoint the Committee on Ventilation which sat during the last Session of Parliament?
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE,) Bradford, CentralI have been wrongly reported in the Press as having come to an adverse opinion as to the ventilation of this House. Great improvements were effected only recently, in consequence of the recommendations of the Committee to which the hon. Member refers; and sufficient time has not elapsed for determining whether anything more is required.
