asked the hon. Member for Bristol, North-East, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether he will make a statement about the finances of the Refreshment Department.

It has been proposed by the Treasury and accepted by the Kitchen Committee that a review of the financial position of the Department should be made by independent experts. A group of experts from the Caterers' Association, the Hotels and Restaurants' Association, the Hotels Executive and Messrs. Thomson McLintock and Company have been invited, and have agreed, to conduct the review, and submit their report and recommendations to the Chairman of the Kitchen Committee. I am sure that the House will wish me to express its thanks to the members of the group for undertaking this service.
