§ 31. Mr. GROVESasked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in the interests of cleanliness and health he will 1626 arrange for the removal of the cobwebs from the walls of Westminster Hall?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe walls in question will be cleaned in 1935, when it is proposed to erect scaffolding for the purpose of examining the roof timbers. I may say that the spiders live in the roof.
§ Mr. GROVESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the foreign matter to which I have referred is not in the roof at all, but clinging to the walls, and can be easily removed with the use of a ladder? Is there any reason why such a historic building should be in such a dirty condition?
§ Mr. BURNETTWill my right hon. Friend consider at the same time the question of spring-cleaning the Crypt with some material destructive of paint?
