ROOM HIRE CHARGES ON THE PARLIAMENTARY ESTATE

Early day motion 572, tabled 15 October 2013 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House believes that the charges that have now been introduced for charities and local community groups to hire rooms on the Parliamentary estate are not acceptable; supports those charities and local community groups who wish to hold events on the estate; and calls on the House authorities to reconsider those charges to prevent the House becoming a wealthy gentleman's dining establishment at the expense of the people hon. Members come to the House to serve.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, DUP 1, Respect 1.
