Book Description
In this report the Administration Committee makes proposals to cut catering costs in the House of Commons by £1.25 million by 2014 - 15, and to widen access to cafes and restaurants. Recommendations include: further proposals for future cost savings; opening restaurants and the Terrace to the public for meals or afternoon teas on days when Parliament is not sitting; a staff discount scheme; generating more income through merchandising, including a new high street shop; looking at the possibility of merging Commons and Lords catering services to save on shared costs; widening access to dining rooms, and giving journalists in the Press Gallery access to a restaurant in Portcullis House instead of their own dining room.
