HC Deb 02 May 1932 vol 265 c806
33. Mr. LENNOX-BOYD

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will grant facilities for a short demonstration of sky-writing by searchlight to take place in Palace Yard so that Members of Parliament may have an opportunity of viewing this new invention?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

If those interested in the promotion of sky-writing appliances care to approach me in regard to carrying out some such demonstration as my hon. Friend suggests, I am pre pared to consider the matter in conjunction with the authorities concerned, pro vided no charge will fall on public funds.

Mr. GLOSSOP

In further considering the matter, will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see that he does not reflect on the sky any words which may give an indication that we agree to differ on the Beer Duty?
