§ Mr. REMERasked the First Commissioner of Works for what reason alterations have been made on the walls of the Harcourt Room and why certain pictures, including a portrait of General Huskisson, have been removed, and what steps he intends to take to make the room more in keeping with the dignity of the House of Commons?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREAs a result of complaints received from Members regarding the noise in the Harcourt Room, the walls have recently been covered with sound absorbing material. To restore the glazed pictures would nullify to a large extent the improvement effected. No further alterations are contemplated.
