HC Deb 03 June 1913 vol 53 cc778-9
55. Mr. BENNETT-GOLDNEY

asked whether the recent experiments with the Ozonair system of ventilation in the Ladies' Gallery are considered as satisfactory as the same system has apparently proved to be in the Government House, Ottawa, and elsewhere; and, if so, if there is any likelihood of the oppressive air in this House being treated in a similar way by the Ozonair process in the near future?

Mr. W. BENN

The ventilation of the Ladies' Gallery has been improved by the experiments which have been made and by the opening of fresh air inlets. The First Commissioner does not propose to introduce the Ozonair system in the Chamber itself.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Is there any reason why ladies should not be admitted to the ordinary Strangers' Gallery?

Mr. W. BENN

That question has been raised before, but I do not think it arises out of the question on the Paper.
