HC Deb 26 April 1934 vol 288 c1882
70. Mr. MANDER

asked the hon. and gallant Member for Ipswich, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, if he will state, respectively, the amount spent by Members of the House and by the public on the purchase of food and drink in that part of the Palace of Westminster under his control in 1933?

Sir JOHN GANZONI

It is regretted that figures showing the differentiation asked for by the hon. Member are not available; but the only place to which the public have access as customers is the Strangers' Refreshment Room on the Committee Rooms corridor, and there £231 2s. 2d. was taken for food in 1933 and £315 7s. 7d. for drinks, both these amounts coming from Members as well as the public.

Mr. THORNE

Has the hon. Member figures before him showing the profit on food and on drink?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is another question.

Sir J. GANZONI

I must have notice of that question.
