§ 36. Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Lord President of the Council whether he will arrange for companions of the opposite sex of single members to be admitted to the Harcourt Room as of right.
§ Mr. R. CarrNo. The Harcourt Room at present can be used by strangers accompanied by a Member and by Members' wives and Lady Members' husbands without necessarily being accompanied by a Member. Any relaxation in this rule would create problems of identification and as the room is at present extensively used, an increase in numbers would not be desirable.
