HC Deb 09 April 1946 vol 421 c1770
12. Mr. Skeffinģton

asked the Minister of Works whether he will consider improving the inadequate lighting in the Strangers' Cafeteria, where many Members and their friends are often obliged to peruse documents.

Mr. Tomlinson

Improvements to the lighting in the Strangers' Cafeteria have been carried out in consultation with the authorities of the, House.

Lieut.-Commander Gurney Braithwaite

Is the Minister aware that the use of the Cafeteria for the perusal of documents and transacting similar business is a highly undesirable practice, occupying tables for an inordinate time, and preventing the serving of meals for people who are waiting?
