Cabinet Office: Catering

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of tableware and crockery used in his Derpartment is made by a British manufacturer.

Answered by Chris Ward

The Cabinet Office does not hold information regarding this, and it would incur disproportionate costs to gather this information.

The Government is committed to supporting British businesses and ensuring they have the best chance to win public contracts.
