§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of the fact that in the High Court on 14 April Mr. Justice Webster complained that the temperature in his court was always too high and ranged between 75° and 80° and that on that day it was about 80° and so hot that he and the others affected were given permission to remove their wigs, whether, in support of the Government's policy of conserving energy, he will take steps to see that the temperatures are kept down in the courts.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThere are difficulties in controlling the temperatures of the courts in St. Dunstan's House as the chiller units currently installed are faulty. Urgent negotiations are in hand with the suppliers for replacements.
