HC Deb 24 April 1950 vol 474 cc604-5
57. Mr. Sidney Marshall

asked the hon. Member for Bristol, North-East, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, when it is proposed to restore the service of waiters in the Members' Smoking Room.

Mr. Coldrick

The provision of service in the Members' Smoking Room has not yet been considered by the newly constituted Kitchen Committee.

Mr. Marshall

When is this matter likely to be considered, so as to restore this small amenity to Members?

Mr. Coldrick

The newly constituted committee has met only once. I have no doubt that it will consider the matter that has been raised, together with a number of other matters.

Lieut.-Commander Gurney Braithwaite

So that this matter and other matters may be seen in their proper perspective, would the hon. Gentleman urge upon the Leader of the House the desirability of our discussing the report of the late Kitchen Committee, which dealt with many of these problems?
