HC Deb 10 December 2001 vol 376 c628W
Mr. Weir

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) what is the value of fairly traded(a) tea and (b) coffee used in his Department in each of the last five years; [17560]

(2) what fairly traded products, other than tea and coffee, have been purchased by his Department in each of the last five years; and what was their value. [17561]

Mr. MacShane

We do not keep records of purchases that fall into the fair trade category. Much of the tea and coffee consumed in the Department is purchased by individuals for their own consumption.
