§ Mr. ViggersTo ask the Chairman of the Catering Committee whose decision it was to offer free Christmas lunches to parliamentary staff. [65081]
§ Mr. Dennis TurnerIt was the decision of the Director of Catering Services to offer a free Christmas lunch to all passholders taking lunch in Refreshment Department Cafeterias. I endorse fully her decision, as I consider it to be a small gesture by which to thank all staff, whether House or of hon. Members, for their help and support throughout the year.
