§ 80. Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why it has been thought necessary to undertake complete redecoration of the Commons Court block of houses; what will be the resultant cost to public funds; and what steps he has taken to establish the cost of spring cleaning these rooms instead.
§ Mr. MarksThe estimated cost of redecoration of the Members' Rooms, 49 of various sizes and two lavatories, is £2,250. The rooms were decorated in non-washable emulsion paint, and the walls are badly soiled. Washing down without repainting would not be satisfactory.
