HC Deb 07 June 1988 vol 134 cc476-7W
Ms. Richardson

To ask the Lord President of the Council what information he has as to how much public money was spent on establishing the Houses of Parliament sports and social club; and what subsidy is given towards its annual expenditure.

Mr. Wakeham

There is no evidence of public money having been spent on the establishment of the Houses of Parliament sports and social club. Its annual expenditure is financed by the annual appeal to Members of both Houses, by subscriptions and by profits from the club's facilities.
