The Commission has not set a formal policy on the stocking of souvenirs in the Despatch Box. Responsibility for souvenir stocking is delegated to the Catering and Retail Service.
A small range of House of Commons souvenirs has been on sale from the Despatch Box since shortly after it opened in 2001-02. The range of souvenirs has been reviewed regularly in response to changing tastes and seasonal demands. The recent reduction in the range available from the Despatch Box reflects sales trends. Stocking a smaller range of souvenirs will also help to reduce queuing times (an issue of concern to many users) for its primary business activity, which is serving hot drinks and light refreshments. A full range of souvenirs continues to be available at other outlets.
The Director General of Facilities would be happy to discuss this matter further with the hon. Gentleman.
