Request
The dates, location and cost of any facility hire/reservation made by the Chinese telecoms firm Huawei or by any MPs or organisations acting on its behalf. I would like this information for the past three years.
Response
Please note that the House of Commons and the House of Lords are separate public authorities for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Therefore, our response only covers bookings for venues on the parliamentary estate managed by the House of Commons. You may wish to forward your request to the House of Lords for information relating to venues managed by that House.
Some information is held by the House of Commons. Please note that the we are only able to identify bookings made under the name “Huawei.” If an individual booked a room for Huawei without informing the Event's team, the House holds no information to identify whether Huawei was involved.
The House holds information for four room bookings by Huawei during the requested period:
• 29 November 2017 Terrace Dining Room A £900 room hire
• 16 October 2018 Terrace Dining Room D £300 room hire
