§ Mr. MacdonaldTo ask the Lord President of the Council if he will explain the reasons for the cost of using the facsimile machine in the Central Lobby post office; and whether there are any plans to provide faxing facilities for right hon. and hon. Members at a lower rate.
§ Mr. WakehamThe Post Office provides a facsimile service within the House at the standard rate. With regard to any plans to provide faxing facilities for Members at a lower rate, I refer the hon. Gentleman to the exchanges in the House on 7 December 1987, at column 19. I can confirm that the Accommodation and Administration Sub-Committee of the Services Committee will subsequently be considering this matter again shortly.
