§ 87. Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Minister of Public Building and Works on what occasions water has entered the No Lobby from the flat roof above; whether the roof is now watertight; and what steps he proposes to take to make good the damage to stonework and woodwork.
§ Mr. C. PannellOn only one occasion, about two years ago, when a small rain water outlet in the roof above became blocked and overflowed. This was cleared at the time and the roof has since been watertight. The damp has now dried out, leaving some white efflorescence on the stonework and woodwork of the Oriel window, which will be cleaned off during the Christmas Recess.
