§ Mr. Cryerasked the Lord President of the Council on how many occasions the private dining rooms on the Terrace have been used by public relations organisations; and what was the average charge made, to the most recent practicable date in 1976.
§ Mr. WellbelovedI have been asked to reply.
I regret that the information requested is not available. All hirings of private dining rooms are sponsored by hon. Members.
§ Mr. Cryerasked the Lord President of the Council if he will introduce regulations to prevent the use of the private dining rooms on the Terrace for public relations organisations; and if he will publish a list of all bookings by Members and the organisations they represent.
