Question
To ask the Presiding Officer whether the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body will act to ensure that "Fair Trade" goods are available in the Parliament's catering outlets.
Answer
The Scottish Parliament Corporate Body is currently considering how Fair Trade goods might be made available within the Parliament's existing and pre-determined catering outlets, in conjunction with the catering contractor. Members will be kept informed of the outcome. I believe it would be the wish of Members to ensure that any new catering contract includes such a provision.
