HC Deb 13 May 1936 vol 312 c396W
Captain PLUGGE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been called to the improvement in the appearance of Gwydyr House, occupied by the Air Ministry, in decorating its windows with flowers; and whether he will consider, especially in view of the Coronation next year, applying the same practice to other Government Departments in Whitehall?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The flowers in the window boxes at Gwydyr House are provided free by the Flowers, Plants and Vegetables Publicity Committee. I regret that no public funds are available to finance the provision of window boxes in other Government offices, but I have no doubt that the question of floral displays along the lines of route will be sympathetically considered in connection with the decorations for the Coronation ceremonies next May.
