Dear Mr Alder,

Thank you for your request for information.

All beverages sold in House of Lords outlets are sold at a profit and
are not subsidised. The operations of the House of Lords Refreshment
Department as a whole are subsidised and details are given in the
attached file for the years 2000/01 to 2008/09.
I also attach current price lists for beverages.

I hope this information is of use.

Yours sincerely,

Ieuan Hopkins

(on behalf of the Freedom of Information Officer, House of Lords)
