HC Deb 26 July 1955 vol 544 cc111-2W
81. Mr. N. Nicolson

asked the Minister of Works his proposals with regard to the whitening of the ceiling and upper wall- panels of the House of Commons Library in the manner already indicated in part of the Library's A Room.

83. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Works when he proposes to complete the repainting of the ceiling of the Library and the alterations to the curtains, so that Members may enjoy more natural light than has hitherto been available.

Mr. Birch

New light fittings are being designed for the Library, and the curtains will be altered. This should materially improve the lighting, and in the circumstances I think it would be wrong to alter the original decoration.
