Mr. Comartin is absolutely right. It could be as many as four or five on a given night; in a week, twenty or thirty. I don't report those. Usually I won't attend them, unless a member of my constituency is at that reception, if it's agriculture-related, or if it's related to manufacturing.
Is there some way we can make it so it's the holder of the reception's responsibility to tell you they're going to have something and what they will be doing at it, instead of 308 members all having to say “I attended and took a sandwich”?
