HC Deb 30 November 2000 vol 357 cc714-5W
Mr. Dismore

To ask the Chairman of the Administration Committee what arrangements apply to hon. Members who wish to provide refreshments to constituents at events in rooms in Portcullis House; if hon. Members are entitled to make their own refreshment arrangements; and if she will make a statement. [140823]

Mrs. Roe

Catering in the multi-purpose conference rooms (the Attlee Suite and the Macmillan Room) will be provided by the Refreshment Department. Hon. Members will be invited to liaise directly with the Portcullis House Catering Manager, as different menu options are available.

At the time of booking Meeting Rooms M to U, hon. Members will be asked if they require any refreshments and they will be offered tea, coffee, biscuits, sandwiches, morning pastries or afternoon cakes.

Currently, hon. Members are able to make their own arrangements for providing refreshment in the Jubilee Room and in Room E in 7 Millbank.

I understand that all of the arrangements in Portcullis House will be reviewed after six months of operation.
