Prisons: Dairy Products
(asked on 21st April 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of dairy products procured for British prisons was sourced from British producers in the last period for which figures are available.
This question was answered on 29th April 2016
As of March 2016, over 99% of UHT milk products used in prisons are being purchased from UK suppliers. From May 2017, the Ministry of Justice intends to make all contracts Bonfield Scorecard compliant, which includes focusing on the value of local production.
NOMS do not keep a breakdown of expenditure for types of food purchased (i.e. dairy).
