asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will consider the advisability of extending the upholstering of the seats in St. Stephen's Hall and the corridor connecting the Outer Lobby with the Inner Lobby of the House of Commons for the convenience and comfort of visitors?

The First Commissioner proposes to have the leather cushions on the seats moved forward a few inches and a leather pad placed on the wall to act as a back-rest. He hopes this will make the seats more comfortable.
