§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Lord President of the Council whether he is aware that the general public are unaware that, on the occasions of mass lobbies and when large crowds are in attendance at the House of Commons, they should be speedily admitted into the Central Lobby if notification is given to the police and officials of the House that they have an appointment with their Member of Parliament; and whether he will take action to publicise this, if need be by a notice at the entrance to St. Stephen's.
§ Mr. R. CarrI am aware of this difficulty and would suggest that the most effective means of publicity would be for Members, when writing to those wishing to make an appointment to see them, to make it clear that production of their letter to the police would ensure priority of admission to the Central Lobby if circumstances permit. On the occasions of mass lobbies, it is unlikely that a visitor would be able to read a notice posted at the entrance to St. Stephen's.
