HC Deb 22 October 1946 vol 427 cc339-40W
117. Dr. Segal

asked the Minister of Works whether arrangements can be made for setting up a stall for the sale of newspapers and periodicals in the Central Lobby.

Mr. Tomlinson

I am unaware of any general demand for a stall for the sale of newspapers and periodicals in the Central Lobby, which would increase the acute congestion already prevailing there. Copies of current publications are available for reference in the Reading Room and Library, and the introduction of shops or stalls into the Palace of Westminster is open to serious objection.
