§ 40. Miss WILKINSONasked the Minister of Pensions, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether work can be undertaken during the Recess to improve the old-fashioned ventilation system of the debating Chamber?
Mr. HUDSONAs I have indicated in my replies to recent questions, the subject of the ventilation of the Chamber is under active review. I am afraid, however, that matters are not in such a stage that it will be practicable to make any improvements during the Recess.
§ Miss WILKINSONIs the Minister aware that I have been putting this question at intervals since I first entered Parliament in 1924; is he also aware that it has been put at intervals since everybody here has been in Parliament and nothing has been done; and when is the Government review to be made in order to prevent us from being half poisoned by sewage gas from the River Thames?
Mr. HUDSONPerhaps the hon. Member will put a question on Thursday, and I will see if it is possible to give her a reply.
