Fairtrade Initiative

Volume 472: debated on Thursday 6 March 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if she will take steps to promote Fair Trade Fortnight 2008 amongst staff within her Department; and if she will make a statement. (189513)

Within our main London HQ building a number of Fairtrade products are already available in the staff restaurant. These, and other products that become available from our suppliers, will be promoted during Fairtrade fortnight.

Fairtrade fortnight is promoted at regional Department for Transport sites. Promotions reflect local building management arrangement but include the display of Fair Trade posters, leaflets and catalogues, free samples, products for purchase and awareness sessions.
