23. Mr. BARNES

asked the Undersecretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether the electric lighting installation throughout the Parliamentary buildings is the most economical and up-to-date?

Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON for

The electric lighting installa- tion of the Houses of Parliament is not the most up-to-date, but is generally satisfactory, and is run as economically as possible. The whole building is being re-wired gradually in order to bring it up to modern standards.
