HC Deb 12 December 1912 vol 45 cc789-90
Captain MURRAY

On a point of Order. Mr. Speaker. Is it permissible for strangers in the Gallery to look at you, Sir, through field glasses?

Mr. SPEAKER

A cat may look at a king.

Captain MURRAY

With very great respect, Sir, is it not possible that what may appear to be a field-glass is in reality a camera? Are strangers in the Gallery to snapshot Members unawares, and in any ungainly attitude they may be at the time?

Mr. SPEAKER

If there was any reason to suppose it was a camera I do not think the House would desire to admit photographers here. I doubt very much whether the photographers would obtain any advantageous pictures.
