HC Deb 15 May 1941 vol 371 c1260
59. Major Vyvyan Adams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether, to promote economy in Parliamentary time, he will see to it that in whatever place the Commons meet, a second clock is placed in a prominent position above and behind Mr. Speaker's chair?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings (Mr. Hicks)

Yes, Sir. The hon. and gallant Member will observe that a clock has been so provided in the present Chamber.

Major Adams

Will my hon. Friend see that this suggestion is remembered in our third meeting place, so that he may discourage the few hon. Members whose speeches are occasionally too long?
