HC Deb 26 October 1939 vol 352 cc1579-80W
Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, to avoid inconvenience to Members of this House and their visitors, he will arrange for more light in the Central Hall during black-out hours?

Mr. Ramsbotham

I regret that the very large area of stained glass windows in both the Central Hall and the passages leading from it would make it a matter of considerable difficulty and expense to provide more light there than is provided under the present arrangements, which were devised in consultation with the Air-Raid Precautions Committee of both Houses of Parliament.
