§ Mr. BENSONasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that no accommodation is provided, other than in the corridors of the Palace of Westminster, for enabling Members to interview constituents and others requiring advice or consultation on matters of public importance; and will he consult the appropriate authorities as to the best means of securing such accommodation for Members of both Houses?
§ Mr. LANSBURYThere are two rooms, numbered Y and Z in the old Crown offices, available for interviews between Members and constituents. I am afraid there is no present possibility of finding other accommodation. I am, however, of opinion that, when the present repairs are completed, some consultation should be held by means of a departmental or other committee to see whether more satisfactory arrangements can be made.
