HC Deb 14 January 1977 vol 923 cc604-5W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Lord President of the Council by what authority hon. Members are prevented from entering that part of the Interview Room Corridor now used to accommodate some hon. Members' secretaries.

Mr. Foot

I would refer the hon. Member to the Fourth Report of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services) of Session 1974–75.

Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Lord President of the Council what was the cost to his Department of the wooden columns with notices advising hon. Members that they may not enter that part of the Interview Room Corridor which is now used to accommodate some secretaries.

Mr. Foot

I understand that the cost of these notices was some £200 and that this will be borne on the Vote of the Department of the Environment.
