HC Deb 03 March 1924 vol 170 c985
86. Mr. PERCY HARRIS

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider putting a clock over Mr. Speaker's Chair on the Reporters' Gallery so that Members facing Mr. Speaker can tell for how long they are speaking?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Jowett)

I regret that I am unable to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion.

Mr. MILLS

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, having introduced taxi-cabs into Hyde Park, he will have taximeters to regulate the length of speeches here?

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider this proposal if the funds be raised by subscription?
