HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 cc319-20W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister for the Civil Service, pursuant to his reply of 20th February to the hon. Member for Newham, North-West, whether he will publish the names of those hon. Members who attended more than one Government lunch or dinner, and the actual number of functions such persons attended.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

My previous reply referred to invitations and not, since the information is not readily available, actual attendance. The information now requested could only be provided at disproportionate cost. However, the following is a list of hon. Members invited to more than one function, showing the number of times they were so invited.
