§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many metres of mahogany or products containing it his Department has bought in the last five years; and if he will list the purposes and the costs. [19842]
§ Sir Paul Beresford[holding answer 19 April 1995]: My Department does not keep central records of individual purchases. Its policy, set out in its environmental purchasing guide "Selling to DOE", is to purchase joinery, furniture, and fittings manufactured only from wood produced from sustainably managed forests.
