To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what plans his Department has to ensure that fair trade principles and products are promoted at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Mr. Thomas
The organisers of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics games are committed to promoting safe and sustainable food during the games and to seeking opportunities to promote the use of local, seasonal, fairtrade and organic produce. This Department supports these aims and will continue to encourage London 2012 in achieving them.
