Home Office: Food
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to reduce food waste in her Department.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
In line with the Greening Government Commitments the Home Office has committed to measure and report on food waste.
Over the period 2017 to 2024, Home Office food waste arisings increased from 183 to 207 tonnes (13% increase) an increase primarily driven by an increase in food waste collection across the estate, from 7 facilities in 2017 to up to 20 facilities in 2023/24.
