§ Mr. Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Lord President of the Council if he will set out in the Official Report the facilities available to hon. Members within the House including the Library, refreshment rooms, terrace, car-parking, accommodation, as at 1 March 1950, 1960, 1965, 1970, and 1979; and if he will list those categories of non-Members who are allowed to use the above facilities, the dates when such permission was granted and the number of persons so entitled.
§ Mr. FootTo provide a detailed reply would require a disproportionate amount of time and cost. Improvements in services available to Members of Parliament are made on the recommendation of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services), whose Ninth Report of last Session describes many of the improvements made in the lifetime of the present Parliament. If the hon. Member has any particular points to raise, perhaps he will write to me.
