HC Deb 26 February 1889 vol 333 cc480-1

Motion made, and Question proposed, That a Select Committee be appointed to control the arrangements for the Kitchen and Refreshment Rooms, in the department of the Serjeant at Arms attending this House."—(Mr. Herbert.)

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

I do not oppose the Motion. Though we do not gather so much from the accounts, I understand that the larger part of the £1,000 granted annually by the House is devoted by the Committee to service. I would suggest that the Report of the Committee should be more precise in details, for if Members generally knew that we had to pay so much for attendance, I am sure there would be general dissatisfaction. The service for any part of the House should find its place in the Estimates.

Motion agreed to.

The Committee was accordingly nominated of—Mr. A. H. Acland, Mr. Agg-Gardner, Mr. H. T. Anstruther, Mr. Biggar, Mr. William Corbet, Mr. Cromer, Mr. Flower, General Goldsworthy, Colonel Hamilton, Colonel Hambro, Mr. Herbert, Viscount Lewis- ham, Mr. Marjoribanks, Colonel Malcolm, and Mr. Sheil.

Ordered, That Five be the quorum.—(Mr. Herbert.)
