§ Captain STRICKLANDasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he is aware of the dangerous and slippery surface of the worn floor-tiles in the precincts of the House; and whether he will remedy this danger?
§ Mr. R. S. HUDSON(for the First Commissioner of Works): A number of worn floor-tiles is replaced every year, and, while not agreeing that present conditions are dangerous, my Noble Friend will consider whether the rate of replacement ought to be increased.
