Mr. Prentice

£1,144,000 and £320,000.

Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what progress he has made in organising, for Press representatives as well as for Members of Parliament, conducted tours over the entire building of the Palace of Westminster; and whether, in preparation for such tours, he will issue to each Member of Parliament a detailed plan of the building, indicating room sizes and the uses to which they are put.

Mr. Prentice

I am bringing my hon. Friend's inquiry to the attention of the authorities concerned in each House. A complete set of plans of the Palace of Westminster is available for inspection in the Library.
