HC Deb 21 May 1930 vol 239 c397
60. Miss LEE

asked the First Commissioner of Works the amount spent on repairing the buildings of the Houses of Parliament since May, 1912; the expenditure since May, 1929; and the estimates of proposed further expenditure on repairs during the next year?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Lansbury)

I assume that my hon. Friend refers to expenditure on repairing the stonework. The total expenditure up to 31st March last on this service amounted to £61,475; of which £26,896 was expended during the financial year ending on that date. The estimated expenditure for the present financial year is £31,200.
