§ Sir JOHN BARRANasked the hon. Member for Southampton, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will consider the possibility of establishing, for the convenience of Members, some depot or counter within the precincts of this House, where small and 1752W simple articles of stationery, such as are in continual demand and are not provided free for their use, can be purchased by them?
Mr. DUDLEY WARDThe space available in the precincts of the House is so much restricted that in the absence of any generally expressed wish for such facilities the First Commissioner feels that he would hardly be justified in adopting the suggestion put forward.
