32. Mr. Vyvyan Adamsasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he has now considered the fresh evidence submitted to him by the hon. Member for West Leeds of overwhelming support for the placing of a second clock in the Chamber above Mr. Speaker's Chair to correspond with the one below the Bar, namely, not only almost the entire personnel of the Liberal and Labour Oppositions but also more than 200 supporters of His Majesty's Government, excluding any support there may be among Ministers; and whether he has now any statement to make on the matter?
§ 35. Mr. Thurtleasked the First Commissioner of Works what objection he has discovered in any quarter of the House to the proposal that a second clock should be installed in the Chamber; and will he now defer to the wishes of the majority of Members in this matter?
§ Sir P. SassoonIn view of the support accorded to the proposal of the hon. Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams) I have again consulted the authorities of the House, and will arrange for a second clock to be placed in the Chamber.
Mr. AdamsFor this eventual accommodation may I thank not only the First Commissioner of Works, but also the usual channels?
§ Mr. PetherickWould it not be possible to make it an alarm clock?
