Dear Stian Alexander,

 

 

Freedom of Information Request F14-023

 

Thank you for your request for information which is copied below.  You
asked us to provide you with information about comments and complaints
about the catering service in the House of Commons for the most recent 6
month period.

 

You have previously requested this information up until 15 August 2013. 
This information was published on the ‘WhatDoTheyKnow?’ website here:
[1]https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

 

Consequently we have supplied the relevant data from this date onwards,
rather than 9 July 2013 as requested.

 

1)  Can you please let me have a copy of any log/comments book or similar
which allows customers and/or staff/visitors to register comments about
food and drink they receive at any outlet (bars, restaurants, shops
catering services) in the House of Commons for the most recent 6 month
period.

 

Please find attached full details of feedback received by the Catering
Services Department from 15 August to the date of your request.  This
includes and a list of feedback comments resulting from a catering survey
carried out in the cafeterias in November 2013.

 

2)  Also, can you send me copies of any written complaints from
staff/customers about any aspect of the catering service or hospitality on
offer with any replies to these complaints (including emails).

 

All data held in respect of this question is included in the attached
document and included in the online publication referred to above.

 

3)  How many complaints did you receive in the most recent 12-month period
in relation to food and drink served in the House of Commons dining
facilities? Please provide copies of the letters of complaint.

 

The total number of complaints is not recorded and is therefore not held. 
Feedback for the banqueting/dining facilities is included in the response
documents attached.    

 

4)  Additionally can you provide me with all details of complaints about
the food/restaurants/bars/catering services in the House of Commons.

 

This information is included in the attached document.

 

Please note personal data has been redacted. This information is exempt by
virtue of section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the
exemption for personal information), as disclosure of this information to
the public generally, in the House’s view, would not be consistent with
data protection principles in the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). This is
an absolute exemption and the public interest test does not apply.

 

Details of links to intranet pages within the Houses of Parliament have
also been removed as these are not accessible outside of the Parliamentary
network.

 

You may, if dissatisfied with the handling of your request, ask the House
of Commons to conduct an internal review of any decision regarding your
request. Requests for internal review should be addressed to: Freedom of
Information Officer, Department of HR and Change, House of Commons London

the full reasons for the internal review and any arguments or points that
you wish to make.

Yours sincerely,

I'm wondering why they've blanked out the name of the brand of vodka in 'vodka query.pdf' – surely it can't be personal information?
