HC Deb 22 February 1895 vol 30 cc1435-6
MR. C. W. RADCLIFFE COOKE (Hereford)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will cause electrical indicators, similar to the one now in the Members' Smoking Room, to be placed in the Libraries and Strangers' Smoking Room?

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

The cost of six additional indicators would be £350, with an annual charge for maintenance of £130. I will arrange for one to be fixed in the Terrace Smoking Room. I gather, however, that many Members object to the proposal to place indicators in the Library Rooms on account of the perceptible noise they produce. I shall be glad to consult further with hon. Members.
