HC Deb 15 December 1978 vol 960 c575W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council, in the light of the fact that in the Members' self-service cafeteria a charge of 28p for 1½ounces of cheese is made, what is the actual cost which is paid to the suppliers for cheese.

Dr. Reginald Bennett:

I have been asked to reply.

The displayed cafeteria price for pre-packed 1½ounce cheese is 21p, including VAT. If the hon. Member has at any time been overcharged perhaps he would write to me.

The Catering Sub-Committee does not think it appropriate to disclose its purchase prices.
