§ 13. Dr. Segalasked the Minister of Works whether he will improve the lighting in St. Stephen's Hall to enable members of the waiting public to read their newspapers in comfort.
§ The Minister of Works (Mr. Key)The existing electric mains cannot take any increased load with safety. I hope a new A.C. supply will be available in about six months' time, and this should make some improvements possible.
§ Dr. SegalIs my right hon. Friend aware that hundreds of pairs of spectacles will have to be provided by his colleague the Minister of Health, at the taxpayers' expense, if this false economy is allowed to continue?
§ Mr. KeyI was not aware of that, but that is a reason, among others, for trying to expedite this work.
Mr. Wilson HarrisIs it not thoroughly undesirable to provide any facilities for the study of the most prostituted Press in the world?
