§ 30. Mr. KINGasked what amount of reconstruction or repairs has been found needed for the roof of Westminster Hall, what the duration of the work will be, and what is the estimated cost?
§ Mr. W. BENNThe First Commissioner is not yet in a position to say what amount of repair or reconstruction may be necessary. The examination and survey in detail which is proceeding will take another two or three months.
§ Mr. MORRELLHas the attention of the hon. Member been called to the great inconvenience caused to many Members by blocking the door at the Members' entrance to Westminster Hall, and could he not make arrangements to allow Members to pass through?
§ Mr. W. BENNThat was considered, and it was thought desirable, in the interests of Members as well as of others, while these things were going on to have them all thoroughly closed.
