HC Deb 01 June 1943 vol 390 cc26-7
49. Mr. Thorne

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works whether he can give any information in connection with the installation of a Lamp-son tube, at their branch office, Great Westminster House, Horseferry Road; and what will be the cost of doing that and other work in the same branch?

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

This building is occupied by a large Ministry of Supply staff and to expedite business and save man-power, it was recently decided to instal a Lamson pneumatic tube system and to serve each of the six floors, at an estimated cost of £1,850. The only other work to be done is the replacement of window glass.

Commander Locker-Lampson

Is a Lampson tube well thought of?
