HC Deb 07 April 1903 vol 120 cc1252-3
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the hon. Member for North Huntingdonshire, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused to Members by the fact that annunciators are not in operation in the Tea Room, Reading Room, Public Dining Room, and Ministerial Dining Room; and whether he will arrange that these instruments are provided for these rooms during the Easter recess.

MR. AILWYN FELLOWES (Huntingdonshire, Ramsey)

There is no provision in this year's Estimates for any more annunciators, and the matter cannot be considered in time for the work to be ordered during the Easter recess; but it will not be lost sight of.

MR. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)

Will the hon. Gentleman also confer with the Committee of the Press Gallery with a view to placing instruments in their Writing Room?

MR. AILWYN FELLOWES

I have not heard that point raised before but I will certainly communicate with the Committee.
