§ MR. HARWOOD (Bolton)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he will consider the possibility of applying a verandah to a small portion of the Terrace, so that Members could enjoy the fresh air even when it was raining.
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. L. HARCOURT,) Lancashire, RossendaleI do not think I should venture to deface the architecture of the Terrace by a verandah, but I might point out to my hon. friend that, there is at all times an abundant supply of excellent fresh air in the Chamber of this House itself.
§ MR. YOUNGER (Ayr Burghs)May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he is aware that on most afternoons about five o'clock both Parties cannot agree about the freshness of the air?
§ MR. L. HARCOURTBoth sides are subject to the accidental passage of gas barges.
§ MR. HARWOODWill the right hon. Gentleman consider whether any suggestion cannot be carried out without defacing the architecture?
§ [No Answer was returned.]
