The Commons subsequently sat in the Chamber of the House of Lords which meant that James Callaghan gave a maiden speech in the House of Lords twice - once when it was the House of Commons and once when it was the House of Lords.

Churchill won the argument that this increased the atmosphere on major occasions and the Chamber was rebuilt exactly (almost) as it had previously been.
