HC Deb 10 December 1990 vol 182 c658
34. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Lord President of the Council what suggestions from the suggestions book in the Members' Cafeteria have been implemented; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

Since the House returned from the summer recess, six comments of substance have been entered in the Members Cafeteria comments book. Three related to the rule on smoking and three asked for the provision of certain dishes or foodstuffs.

Mr. Greenway

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on the inauguration of the suggestions books. Will he assure the House that a positive view will be taken of the suggestions and, in particular, that when more rice pudding is asked for, it might be allowed?

Mr. MacGregor

I had a suspicion that my hon. Friend might ask that question. I can assure him that special efforts have been taken to ensure that it is available in large quantities today.
