§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Chairman of the Catering Committee what were the takings of the House of Commons kiosk in(a) the four weeks to 24 December 717W and (b) the latest financial year for which figures are complete; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Colin ShepherdI am assuming that my hon. Friend is referring to the main kiosk.
The unaudited figures for December 1994 indicate that the takings of the main kiosk for the four weeks to 24 December 1994 were some £200,000, inclusive of VAT.
The accounts of the Refreshment Department trading fund account for the year ending 31 March 1994 show that the kiosks had a turnover of £674,966, net of VAT. The Director of Catering Services informs me that, the turnover of the main kiosk was £521,082, net of VAT.
