§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the catering services in the Royal Parks; and whether there has been any improvement following the regular meetings between his officials and the individual caterers.
§ Mr. MarksThe caterers have agreed to do all they can to improve their services. I think it right to await the comments of the judges in the competition to be held later this summer before expressing an opinion on current standards.
§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the report of the working party on contractual and administrative arrangements for catering in the Royal Parks; and which of its recommendations he intends to adopt.
§ Mr. MarksConsultations are taking place with the interested parties. I hope it will be possible for me to make a statement later this summer.
