HC Deb 25 April 1966 vol 727 cc332-3
7. Dr. David Kerr

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what proposals he has for providing lectures on the Palace of Westminster directed especially to Members and staff of both Houses.

Mr. Prentice

Arrangements for lectures to Members and staff of both Houses, similar to those given last year to Palace of Westminster guides, will be made as soon as possible.

Dr. Kerr

I thank my right hon. Friend for that very satisfactory reply. Will he consider enlisting the expertise, affection and skill as a raconteur of his predecessor to contribute to this scheme?

Mr. Prentice

That is a very interesting suggestion and one to which I should give very careful thought.

Mr. William Hamilton

Would not my right hon. Friend consider having conducted tours round the building to show new Members the various holes and corners that have nothing to do with them?

Mr. Prentice

I will also consider that suggestion.
