HC Deb 17 August 1894 vol 28 c1380
MR. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether during the Recess it would be possible to have the windows in the Library and Dining Rooms so altered that they may be opened from the top instead of the bottom as at present, thus securing ventilation without the excessive amount of draught caused by the present arrangement?

* THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. H. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.

I am afraid it is not possible, within the compass of an answer here, to give the detailed explanation entailed. Mr. Taylor, the surveyor in charge of the building, will be glad to meet my hon. Friend on the spot, and discuss the matter with him.
