Written question asked by Angela Rayner (Labour) on Friday, 15 July 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 20 July 2022 (named day). It was answered by Michael Ellis (Conservative) on Wednesday, 20 July 2022 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
Chequers: Catering
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether (a) food, (b) drink and (c) catering costs at Chequers are paid for by the public purse.
- Answer
-
As I outlined in my answer of 18 October 2021 to PQ 54006, Chequers is not a government building; it is run and managed by an independent trust.
Official hospitality provided by the government (e.g. hosting the visit of a representative of a foreign government) is paid for by the public purse. Personal or party political hospitality is not. This has been the case under successive administrations.
