§ 41. Mr. Ashtonasked the Lord President of the Council what representations 1296 he has received following damage to employees' and Members' cars in the precincts during the demonstration on Wednesday, 24th November.
§ Mr. WhitelawNone, Sir.
§ Mr. AshtonIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I have received representations from a member of the Post Office staff the roof of whose car was severely damaged and who is hardly in a position to cover such damage by insurance? If the right hon. Gentleman receives representations, will he consider whether the cost could be paid out of some form of voluntary fund of the House?
§ Mr. WhitelawI have not received any such representations, but if I do, I will, naturally, consider them in the normal way.
