Abolish subsidised bars and restaurants in the HoC.
Stop all subsidised bars and restaurants in the House of Commons.
It’s appalling that we, the public, are funding this lavish lifestyle whilst people can’t adequately feed their children. It’s Dickensian and needs to stop.
It’s an appalling misuse of the public purse, costing 17m in the last three years.

The House of Commons Catering service does not provide a subsidised service in the commercial sense of the word. Some venues make a profit, while in other venues the cost of providing the service does exceed the income received in sales due to the irregular hours and unpredictability of parliamentary business. The House of Commons publishes details of the cost of House of Commons catering services: www.parliament.uk/site-information/foi/transparency-publications/hoc-transparency-publications/catering-services/transparency-reporting-catering-services/
