The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what information his Department holds on the amount that British Wool spent on its overseas operations in the last 12 months.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

Defra does not regularly collect or monitor information on sales or uses of wool; this is managed by British Wool.

British Wool publishes its annual accounts and financial statements on its website, which include information on its operational activities, including any overseas expenditure. These documents are publicly accessible and provide transparency on the organisation’s use of funds.
