GYMNASIUM AND SHOWER BATHS.

HC Deb 01 April 1925 vol 182 c1312

70. Mr. CLARRY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if he will consider, in the interests of the health and physical fitness of Members, the desirability of installing in the precincts of the House a gymnasium and shower baths for the use of Members

Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON (for the FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS)

I am not aware of any general desire on the part of Members for a gymnasium and shower baths but, on the grounds both of expense and of insufficiency of accommodation, I fear that the proposal of the hon. Member would not be practicable.

Mr. CLARRY

What extent and form of representation would induce the First Commissioner to move in this matter?

Mr. N. MACLEAN

Is the hon. Gentleman in favour of putting a diving board on the Terrace?
