answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government committed in the 2018 Government Estates Strategy to locate more Civil Service roles out of London and into the regions and nations of the United Kingdom. To deliver on this commitment, the Cabinet Office is co-ordinating activity under the Places for Growth programme. This programme will take a place-based approach to relocating roles that ensures we have the skills and capacity in the right places to enable organisations and cities to flourish.</p><p> </p><p>Where roles are demonstrated to require a London presence, often there is no need for a central London location. Therefore, we have committed to three Hubs in outer London – Croydon, Stratford and Canary Wharf – to provide great places to work for these Civil Servants. Potential outer London locations are not limited to these hubs, though no further decisions have been made at this stage.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 01/05/2019 17:08:50 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>Government policy does not specify that public sector organisations should purchase British food as this would go against current procurement rules and regulations. However, the Government is keen to promote the sales of locally grown and ethically produced food and drink in canteens on its estate.</p><p> </p><p>The Plan for Public Procurement, published under the 2010-2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition Government, aims to help procurers make more informed purchases. The plan included guidance, in the form of a balanced scorecard, enabling bids for contracts to be assessed against a set of Government buying standards for food.</p><p> </p><p>The balanced scorecard rewards bids for contracts which commit to serve locally sourced food and those that take advantage of seasonal increases in the availability of certain types of produce. With regard to fair traded goods, the mandatory element of the buying standards requires that 50% of tea and coffee must be sourced fairly, and to meet the best practice standards 100% of tea, coffee, bananas and cocoa must be fair trade. Use of the balanced scorecard is mandatory for central Government departments and executive agencies.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 01/05/2019 12:10:50 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
