Department for Work and Pensions: Catering
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of (a) tableware and (b) crockery used in (a) his Department and (b) job centres is made by a British manufacturer.
Answered by Andrew Western
The current FM supply chain who provide catering services (as of 1st October 2025) has inherited canteen crockery and cutlery from the previous supplier(s), therefore are unable to ascertain where these were manufactured.
Our suppliers have confirmed there are no plans in place currently to purchase any crockery or cutlery in the future.
