HC Deb 30 November 1916 vol 88 cc478-9
87. Mr. RENDALL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether much discomfort is caused at the Admiralty's Crystal Palace Training School by the low pressure of gas which often interferes with the proper heating of the premises; and will he get the South Metropolitan Gas Company to remedy the grievance?

Dr. MACNAMARA

No complaint has been received of discomfort caused by improper gas heating. The gas is supplied by the South Suburban Gas Company, and the pressure is ample. Defects occasionally arise due to obstructions forming in the pipes and connections, especially in very cold weather, but remedial measures are immediately taken.

Mr. RENDALL

Will the right hon. Gentleman make inquiry?

Dr. MACNAMARA

If the hon. Member wishes for a further reply, I will, certainly.
