HC Deb 29 June 1910 vol 18 cc1083-4W
Mr. EDMUND HARVEY

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will make arrangements for the opening of a larger number of windows in the House and Lobbies to secure the possibility of fresh air occasionally entering the House?

Mr. HARCOURT

In very hot weather I occasionally open windows in view of the moral effect produced on some Members.

I regret to say, however, that this is very destructive of the efficient and healthy ventilation of the House, and I hope, therefore, I shall not be asked often for this indulgence.
