Although all of our products are fully traceable to source, the House Service does not record or hold the information in respect of sourcing from one particular country or region. This information is held by the relevant suppliers. Whilst suppliers are able to provide full traceability on any given product, for logistical reasons they would not be able to provide information to the level of detail requested because where our products are sourced may change from time to time.<\/p>
The vast majority of fresh products, such as meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, bread, ice cream, and most fruit and vegetables when in season are sourced from within the UK. This is possible because, in the first instance, we demand that UK or equivalent standards of welfare and production must be met as this is a consideration of ethics and quality rather than origin.<\/p>
The House Service sources products that are produced to higher environmental standards where possible.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/151", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tom Brake"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Carshalton and Wallington"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Tom Brake"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-23T15:58:51.183Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "18"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "House of Commons Commission"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Parliamentary Estate: Food"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the right hon.

In this answer, we define emergency repairs as reactive maintenance. Planned and preventative maintenance (PPM) are preventative measures to help negate emergency repairs. Reactive maintenance relates to approximately 30,000 annual calls for day to day repairs, such as lighting and heating issues, sticking doors, and worn carpet. Planned and preventative maintenance relates to a mix of planned statutory maintenance, such as testing of lifts and fire alarms, and preventative maintenance, such as servicing of heating systems or catering equipment etc.<\/p>
In addition, much work is underway across the Parliamentary Estate to keep our buildings operational. Our focus through these ongoing projects, is to provide a safe working environment, while making sure that the work of Parliament can continue without interruption. The cost of these repairs on the parliamentary estate in each year since 2010 has been:<\/p>
