Notes

The instruction to 'See Plan' possibly refers to SM 51/3/41. The 'Great Committee Room' would then be the large room to the south of the new House of Lords. Next to this in the section is a corridor (with an arch), another committee room with an attic above, and an open area with the rusticated exterior of the staircase between the executed and the projected committee rooms.
