§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the annual cost of the Civil Service catering services; and if she has any proposals for eliminating any charge to public funds for this service.
§ Mr. HayhoeI refer my hon. Friend to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Woking (Mr. Onslow) on 8 May.—[Vol. 4, c.150.]
I believe the elimination of any charge to public funds would have adverse effects on efficiency and productivity, but a tight control is maintained on this expenditure.
