HC Deb 18 June 1931 vol 253 c1943
64. Sir COOPER RAWSON

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider the rearrangement of the lighting of Westminster Hall or the addition of flood-lighting in order to display the tracery of the roof?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Lansbury)

I regret that I have no funds at my disposal with which to experiment on a scheme for flood-lighting, or otherwise to improve the lighting of Westminster Hall.

Sir C. RAWSON

In view of the floodlighted portrait of himself in to-day's "Daily Sketch," can the right hon. Gentleman deny similar advantages to a different kind of beauty in Westminster Hall?

Mr. LANSBURY

I am quite incapable of answering that question.
