HC Deb 21 February 1938 vol 332 c33
67. Mr. Thurtle

asked the First Commissioner of Works when he expects the new clock to be placed in position in the Chamber?

Sir P. Sassoon

I shall shortly place over the Speaker's Chair another model which I hope may prove more satisfactory than the others which I have tried. But until the most satisfactory solution possible is found, I am unwilling to order the necessary work to be put in hand.

Mr. Thurtle

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he had better lose no time in case Mussolini orders the closing of the House of Commons?
