HC Deb 10 February 1971 vol 811 cc524-5
43. Mr. Fry

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will provide facilities in the House of Commons for musical recreation.

Mr. Whitelaw

Judging from some recent performances here, it seems that existing facilities are adequate.

Mr. Fry

In view of the past and perhaps future choral performances of Her Majesty's Opposition, who are clearly in need of efficient leadership of all kinds, would my right hon. Friend ask my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister whether he could not at least offer the Opposition some musical leadership and a better choice of music which would be more fitting to Westminster than the Kremlin?

Mr. Whitelaw

What right hon. and hon. Gentlemen may sing in the Chamber and how they do it must be a matter for them and nobody else.
