HC Deb 03 April 2002 vol 382 c1023W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the cost was of(a) in-house canteen and (b) other catering services provided by her Department in each of the last four years. [38932]

Mr. Morley

The Department has only been in existence since June 2001. To collect this information retrospectively from the component parts that now make up DEFRA would involve disproportionate cost.
