HC Deb 04 April 1905 vol 144 c304
SIR HENRY FOWLER (Wolver-hampton, E.)

To ask the hon. Member for Chorley, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, what would be the cost of converting the twelve gas lamps in Palace Yard and Speaker's Court, which give the minimum of light, into incandescent lamps of the type with which all the other lamps in Palace Yard are equipped.

(Answered by Lord Balcarres.) Conversion means new lanterns in each case, and the cost per lamp has hitherto averaged £10; the total cost would therefore be £120.
