HC Deb 24 October 1949 vol 468 cc1013-4
69. Brigadier Medlicott

asked the Minister of Works if he is now prepared to restore normal lighting in all parts of the Palace of Westminster, including the lamps on the Terrace river front.

Mr. Key

The existing D.C. supply cannot take any further load but a new A.C. supply will be available in about six months, and further improvements will then be possible. The lamps on the Terrace have very rarely been lit during the past 20 years.
