HC Deb 28 June 1955 vol 543 cc176-7
8. Mr. K. Thompson

asked the Minister of Works if he will make the necessary structural alterations to exclude from Westminster Hall the smell of cooking.

Mr. Bevins

My right hon. Friend is having certain alterations made in the staff canteen adjoining the Hall, and I hope that these will do away with the trouble.

Mr. Thompson

Is my hon. Friend aware that his answer will give great satisfaction to those who love the Hall and object to it being abused by the smell of cooking?

Mr. Paget

Has there been any occasion in the history of Westminster Hall on which cooking has not taken place?

9. Mr. Crouch

asked the Minister of Works when he will place a plate in Westminster Hall to mark the spot of the lying in state of Her late Majesty Queen Mary.

Mr. Birch

A plaque is being designed and I hope it will be in position by the end of the year.
