§ Mr. Speedasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the cost to Government funds of subsidies to sporting, social, and catering facilities for the Treasury during the most convenient 12-month period.
§ Mr. TaverneThe main elements of Government subsidy to Treasury catering facilities are in the value of rent, rates, fuel and cleaning, which are not charged for, not separately assessed. This subsidy is estimated to amount to about 10d. per head per day for each member of staff.
In 1968 the Civil Service Sports Council made a grant from its total income, of which less than half represents Government subsidy, of £518 to the Treasury Sports and Social Club.
