§ SIR CHARLES CAYZER (Barrow-in-Furness)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been called to the inconvenience caused to Members by the inadequacy of the telephone facilities and the location of the telephone room; and whether, during the forthcoming recess, he will arrange to have a telephone room in closer proximity to the House, and, if possible, on the level of the floor of the House.
§ MR. AKERS DOUGLASI do not remember that this matter has been brought to my notice, nor was it represented to the recent Committee on the Accommodation of the House. I will consider whether anything can be done; but having regard to the pressure on the space within the near precincts of the House, I regret that I see little hope of it.
§ SIR CHARLES CAYZERBut are there not rooms in close proximity to the House which could be utilised as telephone rooms?
§ MR. AKERS DOUGLASI should be glad if my hon. friend could tell me where they are. I do not know.
