§ MR. HARWOODI beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if any progress is being made towards the promised increase of accommodation for Members of this House.
§ MR. AKERS DOUGLASThe vacating of Sir Reginald Palgrave's residence has set free a considerable amount of accommodation on the Terrace front, and I am having plans prepared showing how it could be utilised for the convenience of Members. The scheme shows that large and costly structural alterations are involved, such as it has never been the practice to carry out without a recommendation from a Committee of the House. I propose, therefore, at the commencement of next session to move the appointment of a Select Committee on the accommodation of the House, and to lay these plans before it.
