§ Mr. ThorneI should like to ask, Mr. Speaker, whether you can do anything to help Members and their visitors by making provision for more public seating accommodation on the occasion of important Debates, such as that of to-day.
§ Mr. SpeakerI do not know whether I can do anything or not. I will see whether more accommodation can be made available but I can promise nothing now, at the last moment.
§ Mr. A. EdwardsCould not the number of seats reserved for officials be reduced?
§ Mr. SpeakerOn the occasion of an important Debate a great many Ambassadors and others attend for whom seats must be provided. I do not know whether anything can be done.
