§ MR. SYDNEY GEDGE (Walsall)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he can now give an assurance that on Saturdays in future the chapel in St. Stephen's Crypt shall be open to the public under the same regulations as other parts of the Houses of Parliament; and whether the time has come for allowing persons of either sex. to walk through Westminster Hall when it is open?
§ MR. AKERS-DOUGLASI am in correspondence with the Home Office with a view to arrange for the reopening of St. Stephen's Crypt to the public on Saturdays, and Westminster Hall daily at hours when Parliament is not sitting. I hope that these arrangements may very shortly be completed.
