Dear FOICOMMONS,

On 16 August 2010 I sent you a FOI request (at
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ba...),
which you have not yet responded to, as you are required by law.

Given that the information requested was very easy for you to
assemble, I do not see why you should not have been able to supply
it within a turnaround time of a few days; the fact of you having
exceeded the time allocated is unacceptable.

Yours sincerely,

simon gray

Dear Mr Gray

Thank you for your request for information which is copied below.

There are 15 different venues across the estate. The Jubilee Cafe offers unrestricted access to the public and in most other venues the public are permitted as a guest of a pass holder. There are three venues - Members Dining Room, Members Tea Room and Members Smoking Room (a historic name, smoking is not permitted) which are for Members only.

Tariffs are attached. Cafeteria prices have been increased in August in line with those charged in Government Department staff restaurants, prices in the dining rooms and for private functions (banqueting) will be increased from October. Further information about upcoming budget savings is available here: http://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2....

You may, if dissatisfied with the treatment of your request, ask the House of Commons to conduct an internal review of this decision.

Dear FOICOMMONS,

Thank you for your response; to clarify, are the tariff sheets
attached the same prices which apply to all bars, cafeterias, and
restaurants across the estate regardless of who has access to them,
or do different bars, cafeterias, and restaurants have different
tariffs ?

Yours sincerely,

simon gray
