HC Deb 23 November 1954 vol 533 c110W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Works, in view of the need for greater emphasis on the importance of physical fitness to the nation as a whole, when gymnasium facilities are to be restored for hon. Members to enable them to give in this sphere encouragement by example.

Mr. Bevins

I recognise the importance of physical fitness, but I am not convinced that it is one of the duties of hon. Members to encourage it by example. In any case, there is no suitable space which could be allocated for a gymnasium.
