Dear Dr Tai,

<<Banqueting Diary Summary.xls>>
Thank you for your email dated 23 July 2008 which is copied below.

You asked for a list of events held on House of Commons premises by SET
for Europe (also trading as SET for Britain) or Dr Eric Wharton since
1997. The House's record of such events is held in the form of a
Banquetting Diary Summary which records information back to 2003 - no
information is held for earlier periods. The Summary shows several
events held in the name of SET for Britain - these are detailed on the
above attachment.

You also asked for a copy of the agreement between the House of Commons
and the above company that allows it to hold such events. There is no
agreement between the organisation and the House of Commons. However,
the terms of conditions for event sponsorship are attached as follows:

request. These should be addressed to [House of Commons request email] Please
ensure that you specify the nature of your complaint and any arguments
or points that you wish to make. If you remain dissatisfied, you may
appeal to the Information Commissioner at Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

Dear Bob,

Thank you very much for your research into this matter; I
appreciate your response.

However, I am unable to access the website containing the House of
Commons terms of conditions for event sponsorship at
http://pdvnweb.parliament.uk/refreshment...
Perhaps this is a website internal to parliamentary staff? I would
appreciate if you could instead forward to me the Portable Document
Format file containing the terms and conditions.

Again, many thanks for your work.

Sincerely,

Kaihsu Tai
