Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of his Department's spend on day-to-day goods has comprised fair trade products in each of the last eight years.

The Department does not hold information where day-to-day goods spend comprises a breakdown of fair trade products. This information could only be obtained by reviewing every contract through which day-to-day goods have been supplied, in each of the last eight years. To do this would incur disproportionate time and cost.
