House of Lords: Catering
- Question
-
To ask the Chairman of Committees, further to his Written Answer on 12 March (HL5250), whether the entire sum of gratuities paid by Members of the House of Lords on debit and credit cards is shared amongst members of catering staff; or whether any is kept by the House of Lords administration for organisational costs.
- Answer
-
My original reply set out national insurance and income tax deductions made from all gratuities. In addition, a 3% card commission deduction is made from table gratuities paid using credit and debit cards. This will be reviewed.
