HC Deb 13 November 1906 vol 164 cc1293-4
SIR HOWARD VINCENT

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he can do anything to improve the defective lighting in the Central Hall and Conference Room.

MR. RUNCIMAN

The First Commissioner will give directions for the improvement of the lighting of the Conference Room. But he is disposed to think that the Central Hall is not inadequately lighted at present, having regard to its purpose.

SIR HOWARD VINCENT

Will the hon. Gentleman kindly call the attention of the First Commissioner to the fact that the light is so bad in the Central Hall that it is almost impossible to recognise one's constituents.

MR. RUNCIMAN

Certainly.
