§ 95. Mr. Cooperasked the Minister of Works when he intends to take steps to improve the windows and electric lighting of St Stephen's entrance and the Central Lobby of the Palace of Westminster, in order to eliminate the present gloomy appearance of the entrance to this building.
§ Mr. TomlinsonPreparations for the reglazing of windows in St. Stephen's Hall and the Central Lobby are well advanced and the work will be carried out as soon as possible. The electric lighting was reduced for reasons of fuel economy, but I will consider whether some improvement can be made.
§ Mr. CooperWill the hon. Gentleman see that the lighting is sufficient to enable the public to read whilst they are waiting to get into the Chamber? Often they have to wait for long periods.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI will look at that.
