HC Deb 05 March 1946 vol 420 c48W
4. Colonel Erroll

asked the Minister of Works why a screen eight feet high is being erected round the site of the new House of Commons building, thus effectively preventing persons using the Commons Court from viewing the progress made.

Mr. Tomlinson

It is normal practice to protect building works in this way so as to enable the contractors to control their operations, safeguard the work and prevent accidents.
