HC Deb 12 January 1976 vol 903 c56W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Lord President of the Council if he is satisfied that the facilities of the House are adequate to deal with the work undertaken by parliamentary research assistants.

Mr. Edward Short

Facilities for research assistants employed by Members are limited by the general lack of accommodation in the House. However, the new branch of the Library in the Norman Shaw (North) building and the recent increase in the number of permits for research assistants to use the main Library have improved the position.
