§ 88. Mr. DOUGLAS HALLasked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if the Office of Works could see their way to providing a few sound-proof compartments where Members could dictate letters privately to their secretaries, as, owing to the long-continued sittings of 384 Parliament, it is often difficult for Members to get away from the House, and the present arrangements are unsatisfactory?
§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (Lord of the Treasury)As I have already stated, it is hoped later in the year to acquire for the use of Members another room adjoining Westminster Hall. Should hon. Members generally desire it, accommodation could be there provided, as the hon. Member suggests.
