HC Deb 07 March 1966 vol 725 c1708
38. Mr. Geoffrey Wilson

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what public buildings in London will be floodlit during 1966 additional to those lit during 1965.

Mr. Boyden

The Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster, so far as this Ministry is concerned.

Mr. Wilson

Is that enough? In view of the great value of the tourist industry as a dollar earner, should we not do more floodlighting, which adds greatly to the attractions of public buildings?

Mr. Boyden

Another thirteen buildings which are the responsibility of the Ministry are floodlit as well as other buildings which are not our responsibility.
