HC Deb 27 March 1907 vol 171 c1815
MR. MORTON (Sunderland)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether the new lift for the House of Lords buildings, which was to be provided at an estimated cost of £700, has been provided, and, if so, is it at all used; and is there a man in charge at 30s. per week, and has he anything to do.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Harcourt,) Lancashire, N.E., Rossendale

The lift has been provided, but I believe it is not yet extensively used. There is an attendant who receives the wages stated, but he has other duties in the building besides working this lift.
