HC Deb 27 May 1937 vol 324 cc439-40
65. Colonel Nathan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether, in view of the public disappointment at the curtailment of the Coronation flood-lighting of public buildings, he will authorise the resumption of flood-lighting at week-ends for a limited number of weeks?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

I would refer the hop, and gallant Member to the reply given yesterday to the hon. and gallant Member for Cardiff, South (Captain A. Evans). The cost of retaining or reinstating the equipment even for a limited period on a hire basis would be considerable.
