HC Deb 30 June 1997 vol 297 cc40-1W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales which health trusts in Wales purchase beef from Wales or elsewhere in the United Kingdom for consumption by hospital patients. [5987]

Mr. Win Griffiths

The information requested is not held centrally. Decisions on the purchase of food lie with each NHS Trust in Wales.

Mr. Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many local education authorities allow beef to be included on school menus; and what is the policy of each local education authority in Wales on the purchase of British beef for school meals. [5988]

Mr. Hain

The information requested is not held centrally, but I am, of course, keen to see the highest nutritional standards in school meals. Local education authorities and schools will wish to take into account parents' views and to offer a choice of dishes whenever possible.
