Food: Public Sector
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make it his policy to help support public bodies to prioritise the purchase of British produced (a) food and (b) drink.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
As set out in the manifesto, we have an ambition to supply half of all food and drink into the public sector from local, British producers or those certified to higher environmental standards, whilst remaining in line with our World Trade Organization and domestic procurement obligations.
