HOUSE OF COMMONS COMMISSION
Plastic Cups
Mr. Leech:
To ask the hon. Member for North Devon, representing the House of Commons Commission (1) what percentage of plastic cups used in the House were recycled in the last period for which figures are available; [55848]
(2) what the cost of providing plastic cups for meetings in the House was in the last year for which figures are available. [55849]
Nick Harvey:
The cost of plastic cups provided for Committee and meeting rooms in 200405 was £2,887. Plastic cups are currently incinerated as part of the waste stream to generate electricity rather than recycled. A new contract for the supply of disposable catering products is about to be awarded. It is intended that bio-degradable cups will be used in catering outlets and, subject to suitability, in Committee and meeting rooms in place of plastic cups.

International Sporting Events
Hugh Robertson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the answer of 16 February 2006, Official Report, column 2198W, on international sporting events, if she will list the individuals concerned; and for what reasons each is visiting the Commonwealth Games. [56572]
Mr. Caborn
[holding answer 6 March 2006]: The following table sets out the names and positions of the individuals who are planning to visit the Commonwealth Games and their reasons for doing so, as listed in my answer of 16 February 2006.
At the time of my previous answer, Sport England had planned to send six members of staff to the Commonwealth to represent the organisation; this total subsequently fell to three.
For the sake of completeness, I have included in the list a further seven Sport England employees who were not counted for the purposes of my previous answer because they will not in any way represent or work for Sport England at the Commonwealth Games, but will be seconded either to Team England or to the Commonwealth Games Council for England (CGCE) for the duration of their stay. I have also included David Higgins, who is temporarily on the Department's payroll pending establishment of the Olympic Delivery Authority.
