Mr. Speaker’s Signal
A source of interest to visitors to the British House of Commons is the lighting by means of electric lamps concealed above the difusing glass roof. A signal for the switching on of the lights can be given by means of a switch but-
ton concealed in the arm of the Speak er’s chair.
The effect of switching on the lights is occasionally dramatic. One instance Was when Mr Ramsay MacDonald's plea for more information—“l am speaking in the dark”—was followed by the turning on of the artificial light.
