§ Mr. PERKINSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will consider the desirability of extending the Press Gallery with the object of allowing weekly periodicals of international repute to send representatives daily instead of weekly as at present?
§ Mr. R. S. HUDSON (for the First Commissioner of Works)No, Sir. In view of the recent rearrangement and extension of the accommodation in the Press Gallery, my Noble Friend does not think any further encroachment on the side galleries would be generally acceptable to Members.
