HC Deb 10 February 1899 vol 66 c671
COLONEL WELBY (Taunton)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been called to the trial and strain to the eyes caused by looking for any long time through the heavy lattice-work screen of the Ladies' Gallery; and whether he can gee his way, by making the screen lighter or more open, to remedy this inconvenience?

MR. AKERS DOUGLAS

The question of the "grille" in front of the Ladies' Gallery is no new one, having been often under consideration; and I regret that I cannot promise to make any alteration.
