§ Mr. MARCHasked the First Commissioner of Works whether it is possible to provide some kind of shelter during the unsettled inclement weather for the police officers who stand at the gate on Westminster Bridge and other places leading to the entrance of Palace Yard?
§ Mr. R. DAVIESI have been asked to reply to this question. I am afraid that my hon. Friend's suggestion could not be adopted without interfering with the efficient discharge of the constable's duties. But arrangements are made to relieve the constables at such exposed points as frequently as possible.
