House of Commons: Catering
The question
To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, if the Commission will ensure that the Adjournment restaurant reopens in the mornings.
Answered by Nick Smith
This service was available as a temporary measure whilst the Despatch Box coffee bar was refurbished in October 2024.
There are no plans to reopen the Adjournment restaurant in the mornings. The Commission is working to reduce the cost of the catering operation. Opening the Adjournment in the morning is unlikely to be cost effective now the extended Despatch Box is available.
