HC Deb 30 July 1959 vol 610 cc181-2W
Mr. Knox Cunningham

asked the Minister of Works if he will investigate the question of ventilation in the Members' Tea Room of the House of Commons and the possibility of fitting additional fans with a view to improving conditions for staff working the gas appliances in hot weather.

Mr. H. Nicholls

There are already an extract fan and a portable fan near the counter. A larger, oscillating fan is to be installed in place of the portable fan, and the bottom of the gas-fired boiler is to be insulated. I hope these measures will improve working conditions for the staff.
