HC Deb 05 August 1975 vol 897 c164W
Mr. Neubert

asked the Lord President of the Council whether, in the interests of tourism, he will arrange for the riverside frontage of the Palace of Westminster to be illuminated at night.

Mr. Edward Short

Yes. The river front is always floodlit until midnight during the summer months when the House is not sitting. I understand that this applies equally to that part of the Palace occupied by the House of Lords.
