	tabling member printed	Baroness Parminter
	uin	HL1140
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2016 answer text <p>The Greening Government Commitments annual report for 2014-15 sets out the data reported by departments on the proportion of government procurement contracts in a number of key product groups which met or exceeded Government Buying Standards in that year. The information specifically on construction contracts is set out in Annex 2, procurement table 3 of the annual report. As with previous years’ annual reports, the available data is presented by department, rather than for the whole of government. It is not possible to provide a figure on the proportion which met or exceeded the Government Buying Standards for the whole of government, as not all departments were able to report complete information.</p><p>It is the responsibility of each Department to put the Government Buying Standards into practice in its own procurement activity.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 25/07/2016 15:58:45 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
