HC Deb 22 April 1952 vol 499 c197
21. Mr. John MacLeod

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that there is no means of escape from fire in the secretaries' room at the south end of Westminster Hall; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Eccles

Yes, Sir. Arrangements are being made to provide a means of escape from this room.

Mr. MacLeod

While I thank my right hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask him if he can say how many other chambers in the Palace of Westminster are in a similar condition?

Mr. Eccles

I cannot say without notice.
