HC Deb 17 February 1932 vol 261 c1642
68. Sir CHARLES CAYZER

asked the First Commissioner of Works when the new ceiling lights in the Reading libraries A, B, and C are to be installed, in view of the difficulty Members find in reading when not seated at the tables?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

New electric light fittings were installed in the libraries during the Christmas Recess, 1930. A recent test indicates that, throughout the greater part of the rooms in question, the intensity of the lighting exceeds the standard normally required for reading purposes. The lighting adjacent to the fireplaces in A and B libraries is, however, somewhat below the standard, and I am therefore arranging for more powerful lights to be placed in the centre fittings of these rooms.
