HC Deb 12 May 1971 vol 817 c113W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council why the investigation into the administration of the Refreshment Department's administration is not yet complete; what recommendations have already been made for the improvement of the service and its efficiency; and whether Members may make written or oral statements to assist in this investigation.

Dr. Bennett

I have been asked to reply.

The investigation concerns many matters of considerable detail, and this will require time. A number of recommendations have so far been made and approved by the Sub-Committee, relating to the control of supplies and the checking of stores. The Sub-Committee will certainly consider suggestions for the improvement of the efficiency of the service to hon. Members.
