HC Deb 30 October 1912 vol 43 cc437-8
53. Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he has received com- plaints of the ventilation of the Strangers' Smoking Room; and whether the First Commissioner will make an alteration in the present form of ventilation in that room?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (Lord of the Treasury)

No complaints of the ventilation of the Strangers' Smoking Room have been received in recent years, and the First Commissioner does not contemplate any alteration of the present system.

Mr. CARR-GOMM

Is it a fact that workmen have been engaged during the last few days in that room making some alterations in respect to the current of air now coming from under the seats?

Mr. BENN

I am not aware that anything has been done.

Mr. CARR-GOMM

Will the hon. Gentleman make inquiries?

Mr. BENN

Certainly.
