Catering and Retail Services (HL): Eggs
(asked on 2nd December 2021) - View Source
Question
To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker whether the House of Lords Catering and Retail Services have been sourcing egg products from (1) Belgium, or (2) any other non-UK country; and what commitment they have, if any, to only sourcing eggs from British Lion producers.
This question was answered on 15th December 2021
The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chair of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. The Catering and Retail Service (CRS) source pasteurised egg yolk and egg white products from Cocovite, which are manufactured in Belgium; however CRS are continually working with suppliers to find a British alternative.
The Catering and Retail Service do however source free range whole eggs which are British Lion quality stamped.
