§ 24. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings what specific temporary substitutes for glass are being recommended by his Department; and what such substitutes are being used in window-repair work at the House of Commons?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings (Mr. Hicks)No recommendations in regard to specific temporary substitutes for glass are issued by my Department. The translucent substitutes being used in window repair work at the House of Commons consist partly of impregnated fabric and partly of plastic film with metal reinforcement.
§ Sir T. MooreWould it not be a good idea if the hon. Gentleman's Department would circulate to the public details of what, in their opinion, is the most efficient substitute, so as to prevent the public being deluded by the useless material which at present is being used?
