Lord IL CECIL, in consequence of the excessive heat
of the house, moved that the windows be opened.
The SPEAKER said that opening the windows
would aggravate the evil complained of by the noble
lord. It would increase the temperature of the house
by 10 degrees.
Mr. THORNELY said there was another objection
to the windows being opened. Some members could
stand excessive heat and cold, but could not sit in a
draught without suffering severely, and that was his
case. (Hear, hear.)
Lord R. CECIL then put the question of which he
had given notice, viz.,—To ask the President of the
Board of Works, whether he has any objection to place
a complaint-book in each of the division lobbies, in
which members may enter any complaints they may
have to make with reference to the ventilation of the
house.

The SPEAKER, in the absence of the President of
the Board of Works, said that any hon. member having
a complaint to make of the temperature of the house
should mention it to the Sergeant•at-Arms. (Hear.)
The subject then dropped, and the windows were
subsequently opened.
