HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 c381W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Works whether approval has been given to the proposal to apply a grey artificial colouring to the oak work of the interior of the Chamber of the new House of Commons.

Mr. Key

The colour of the oak work in the new House of Commons will be that of the sample already approved by the Select Committee on House of Commons (Rebuilding). A piece of oak will be made available for inspection after the Easter Recess. The process to be used will be settled in consultation with the Forest Products Research Laboratory.
