HC Deb 01 July 1968 vol 767 cc187-8W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what is the purpose of the wooden building in the Commons Court; how long it is to remain in this position; what was the cost of erecting it; and what alternative provision he is making for the parking of hon. Members' cars.

Mr. R. J. Mellish

The hut is required for the use of the Ministry's contractors engaged on the installation of the closed circuit television annunciators, as recommended in the 14th Report dated 28th July, 1967 from the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services). It is intended that it will remain in position until the end of the Summer Recess. The cost of hire, assembly and dismantling is about £200. I am not making alternative provision for the three-car parking spaces that the hut occupies.
