HC Deb 08 March 1937 vol 321 c787
38. Sir Reginald Clarry

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will consider the possibility of setting aside a room and facilities in the House of Commons to enable Members during their hours of attendance to take requisite exercise in conformity with the general desire for a keep-fit campaign?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

(for the First Commissioner of Works): My Noble Friend has considered the matter in consultation with the authorities of this House. He has much sympathy with the request of my hon. Friend, but regrets that the demand on the accommodation for the purposes of public business is so great that it is not possible ao accede to it.
