§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he will state whether the water closets off the Committee Room corridors are supplied directly from the same cistern from which water is drawn for domestic purposes, or whether disconnecting cisterns are in use for these water closets?
MR.H.GLADSTONEOne set of the water closets off the Committee Room corridor is supplied from a cistern from which water is drawn for domestic purposes; but in the other case the sup- 560 plies are separate. Instructions have been given for making the supplies entirely separate. I may mention that the Select Committee on the Accommodation of the House advise, in their Report, that a careful examination should be made into the condition of the water closets in the buildings, and this shall be done.
