§ 68. Sir T. Moore
asked the Minister of Works where the upholstery for the new Commons Chamber has been manufactured.

§ Mr. Key
The leather for the upholstery of the benches in the new House of Commons will be dyed and finished in Bermondsey. The contract for the upholstering work has not yet been let.

§ Mr. Haire
Was this order put out to tender, and was High Wycombe invited to give estimates?

§ Mr. Key
As I have said, the upholstering work has not been let.
