Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he is now able to make a statement on the investigation made into the administration of the House of Commons Refreshment Department; whether these investigations have found any financial deficiencies or irregularities; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitelaw

The investigation into the administration of the Refreshment Department is continuing. Some recommendations have already been made for the improvement of the service and its efficiency. The survey is still incomplete.
