HC Deb 13 May 1958 vol 588 cc212-3
41. Mr. E. Johnson

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that some of the disabled ex-Service men employed by him as liftmen in the Palace of Westminster are experiencing difficulty in getting home after late sittings during the bus strike; and what arrangements he is making to enable them to do so.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works (Mr. Harman Nicholls)

My right hon. Friend has agreed with the authorities of the House that only one lift need be manned after 11 o'clock when the House sits late. He has also made arrangements for the attendant on this lift to be taken home when necessary.

Mr. E. Johnson

Is my hon. Friend aware that that Answer will give great satisfaction to the whole House and to the disabled men themselves?
