Catering In 1 Parliament Street

EDM number 1385 in 1993-94, proposed by John Cummings on 23/06/1994.

That this House notes with concern the recent adaptions of the coffee bar and lounge in the Parliament Street buildings which has provided exclusive superior facilities for honourable Members and officers of the House at the expense of an overworked and underpaid Commons staff who must now use the remaining lounge and have to negotiate passages and several doors in order to carry coffee from the main cafeteria, having endured lengthening queues; further notes that the provision of exclusive and superior facilities for honourable Members and officers of the House is directly opposed to the Prime Minister's vision of a classless society; and calls upon the appropriate authorities to make these facilities available to all who work in the House or have the area returned to its original use where those who work in the House can relax in comfort and dignity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
