Department for Business and Trade: Stationery
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department has taken to encourage the procurement of British-made office products and stationery by (a) his Department and (b) its arms-length bodies.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Department for Business and Trade and its arms-length bodies do not have any policies to specifically encourage procurement of British made office products and stationery. However, the Government is committed to supporting British businesses, ensuring they have opportunities to win UK public contracts and deliver high-quality goods and services.
Cabinet Office is consulting on a package of further reforms to public procurement regulation to support the Government’s Industrial Strategy.
