HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT (USE OF ROOMS).

HC Deb 30 November 1916 vol 88 c468

51. Sir J. D. REES

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider the possibility of finding space for housing to some extent the additional offices and employés of the Government in the at present disused Committee Rooms of the House of Commons?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr.Harcourt)

Two Committee Rooms in the Commons and two in the Lords are in regular use by Government Committees and Commissions. I will consider whether further use can be made of the remaining rooms without inconvenience to Members, who use them largely for private meetings and unofficial committees.
