§ MR. MOON (St. Pancras, N.)To ask the hon. Member for Chorley, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will consider the expediency of giving orders that, from the moment when a Question is put from the Chair for a second time and the challenge of a division is persisted in, the upper windows of the Chamber, on both sides, be opened and so kept open for at least ten minutes.
741 (Answered by Lord Balcarres.) The capacity of the input and extract fans is more than sufficient to change the air rapidly, if run at full speed when the Chamber is cleared for an adjournment or division. The First Commissioner is quite willing that the windows shall be opened occasionally during the sitting, but he is unable to promise that this shall be done at each division.
