The decision to use any Fairtrade product by my Department would of course be subject to compliance with public procurement rules and it is a matter for the enterprises supplying services to the Department to make their own commercial decisions in sourcing their supplies.
I am pleased that the restaurant in Agriculture House, which is a private concern, took a decision some two years ago to stock Fairtrade coffee, one of the products highlighted by Oxfam in a recent campaign to promote Fairtrade products.
