HC Deb 10 July 1939 vol 349 c1807
58. Sir Herbert Williams

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will arrange to reopen the door from the Map Room to the Library corridor?

Mr. Ramsbotham

This door was blocked up a long while ago, having been made good on the Map Room side with panelling and shelves like the rest of the Map Room, and there is, within the original door on the corridor side, a recess containing a telephone for the use of the Library officials. In all the circumstances, I am doubtful whether any advantage would be gained by re-opening the door.
