PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(20 October 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what proportion of (a) tableware and (b) crockery used in his Department is made by a British manufacturer.

Asked by:
Gareth Snell (Labour)

Answer

A small amount of crockery and tableware has been purchased locally using departmental funds. No central record is maintained of these purchases. To determine the country of origin of all such items would require a check of all items in use. The cost of this would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold of £850.
