HC Deb 14 July 1969 vol 787 cc48-9W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what investigations have been carried out by the Treasury's Organisation and Methods Department into the workings of the House of Commons Catering Department in the last three years; and if he will publish its report.

Mr. Taverne

Treasury Organisation and Methods Department have made no investigations into the workings of the House of Commons Refreshment Department. The Treasury Catering Adviser made a survey in November, 1966, in connection with a proposal for a grant-in-aid to the Refreshment Department. The report was a management document and confidential to the Treasury.
