§ Mr. Cryerasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he intends to ensure 617W that booking for the House's private dining rooms are published; and what are the safeguards against abuse of the House facilities by outside bodies such as public relations organisations.
§ Mr. Charles IrvingI have been asked to reply.
It is not the Catering Sub-Committee's policy to publish details of functions sponsored by hon. Members.
The arrangements for the use of private dining rooms set out in the fifth report from the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services) of Session 1974–75 (HC 483, 1974–75) provide the necessary safeguards against abuse.
