Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Greening Government Commitments for 2021-25, how many tonnes of food waste were produced from (a) his Departmental estate, and (b) HMRC’s Departmental estate, in financial year (i) 2021-22 and (ii) 2022-23 up to the end of December 2022.
