§ Mr. Higgsasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he can see his way clear to increase the intensity of the artificial lighting in this Chamber, which is now under two-foot candles, to at least that prescribed in Welfare Pamphlet, No. 7, Lighting in Factories, which advises a minimum of three- to five-foot candles for reading?
§ Sir P. SassoonWhen the glass ceiling is cleaned during the Recess, the average intensity of the artificial lighting will, I think, be not less than 3.5 foot candles. I will endeavour to see that this standard is maintained and, if possible, increased.
