HC Deb 05 December 1949 vol 470 cc1508-9
14. Brigadier Medlicott

asked the Minister of Works if it is proposed to hold any formal re-opening ceremony to mark the completion of the repair and restoration work in Westminster Hall and the restoration of the Hall to its normal appearance.

Mr. Key

I do not consider that a re-opening ceremony is called for. Although the roof scaffolding will shortly be removed, other repairs and the removal of obstructions cannot be completed for some time yet. No doubt a ceremony will take place when the joint Parliamentary War Memorial is completed.
