§ 44. Sir CHARLES OMANasked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been drawn to the dissatisfaction of Members at the want of harmony between the new emerald-green netting placed over the gangways of the House and the new dark green morocco covering of the seats; and whether he will undertake to have this altered?
§ Mr. JOWETTThe matting in question was put down temporarily during the present short Session, and will be replaced by matting of the proper tone as soon as the House rises.
§ Mr. SEXTONIs the right hon. Gentleman also aware of the lamentable want of harmony on the benches, particularly below the Gangway; and if, in the exercise of his ingenuity, he can suggest a remedy, in view of the shadow of coming events?
§ Mr. SPEAKERI must ask hon. Members to let us get on with the business. There are still a number of hon. Members desirous of obtaining information.
