To ask Her Majesty's Government what data the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs had obtained by the end of 2008 regarding the proportion of food used by government departments that is produced domestically; and whether they will publish each department's purchases for the year 2008 and how these compared with purchases in 2007. [HL1314]

The second report published on the PSFPI website in November 2008 gives the proportion of domestically produced food used by government departments and also supplied to hospitals and prisons between 1 April 2007 and 31 March 2008. It can be seen at www.defra.gov.uk/farm/policy/sustain/procurement/pdf/psfpi-datareport0811125.pdf.
