HC Deb 19 November 1963 vol 684 cc73-4W
50. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what progress has been made with cleaning and redecorating the Banqueting Hall, Whitehall.

Mr. Rippon

The Royal United Service Institution are to give me possession of the Banqueting Hall this week. Work is due to start next Monday, 25th November, and will, I hope, be finished in time for the Banqueting House to be opened to the public by the middle of next summer.
