HC Deb 08 July 1948 vol 453 c52W
Mr. Granville

asked the Minister of Works what progress is being made with the rebuilding of the House of Commons; and what is the latest estimate of the date by which this work will be completed and ready for occupation, so that the existing Chamber in use by the House of Commons can be made available to the House of Lords.

Mr. Key

Progress on the rebuilding of the House of Commons is generally satisfactory. Although it is too early to forecast with certainty the date by which the work will be finished, it is hoped that the building will be ready for occupation in the Autumn of 1950.
