HC Deb 06 November 1912 vol 43 cc1260-1
48. Mr. HOGGE

asked the right hon. Member for the Epping Division, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether a Special Sub-Committee of the Kitchen Committee has been set up to make an inquiry into the catering arrangements of the House, with power to call in an outside expert; whether he can state whom the Committee intend to consult; and whether any opportunity will be afforded Members of the House to suggest improvements?

Colonel LOCKWOOD

It is true that a Sub-Committee of the Kitchen Committee has been appointed, with power to call in an outside expert. I shall be pleased to give careful consideration to any improvements hon. Members may suggest.

Mr. HOGGE

What means may Members take to suggest these improvements?

Colonel LOCKWOOD

I would suggest to the hon. Member that there is an ample supply of stationery and pens in the Lobby. If any suggestions are made, I will take immediate notice of them.
