HC Deb 15 January 1997 vol 288 c238W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what recent representations he has received from the Fairtrade Foundation; and if he will take steps to introduce products marketed by the foundation into the cafeterias in his Department. [10892]

Mr. Nelson

I have not received any representations recently from the Fairtrade Foundation. The foundation is free to compete with other suppliers to Halliday Catering Services, who hold the contract to run my Department's catering facilities.
