HC Deb 01 July 1968 vol 767 cc165-6W
37. Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he is satisfied that lighting standards in the Chamber of the House and its working precincts are adequate; and if he will make a statement.

40. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Lord Privy Seal what steps he is taking to bring about the urgently required improvement in lighting standards within the Palace of Westminster, recommended in the report of the Ministry of Public Building and Works dated 1st January, 1967.

Mr. Peart

I am aware that the Report of the Ministry of Public Building and Works dated 1st January, 1967 stated that the lighting standards within the Palace of Westminster do not reach the level usually provided in modern buildings. The Services Committee both last Session and this considered the implications of this Report but decided not to recommend any change.
