§ Mr. LOFTUSasked the Minister of Pensions, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if he is now in a position to state on what date the present air ventilation system of this House was constructed; and whether, in view of its manifest failure, he will now consider installing a modern air-conditioning system for this House?
§ Mr. R. S. HUDSONThe present ventilation system is substantially that installed in 1892, but considerable improvements have been effected from time to time, notably in 1902 and 1906. The First Commissioner will shortly circulate a note on the whole subject.
