§ Ms WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the refurbishment projects that(a) are in progress and (b) will start within the next six months; and what action is being taken to ensure that these will procure certified timber. [59758]
§ Mr. LammyThere are no refurbishment projects currently in progress in the buildings occupied by the Department for its own use, although a small project to fit out headquarter premises for the commission for patient and public involvement may commence within the next six months.
Environmental criteria are now contained as part of the specification in tendering contracts and include a requirement that timber products are from sustainable sources.
