Ms. Walley

To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will undertake a review of the current use of private dining facilities in the House with a view to making provision in advance of the development of phase 2 for constituents and visitors to the line of route.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

It is understood that the Catering Sub-Committee will include the provision of refreshments for visitors as part of its review this autumn of observations received in response to the Services Committee's first report of this Session on the future development of refreshment facilities in the House (HC 234). No doubt all possible options will be considered at that time.
