FAIR TRADE IN THE PALACE OF WESTMINSTER

That this House congratulates fair trade organisations on their success in increasing fair trade purchases by 50 per cent. in the past year, with consumers in the UK spending ??140 million last year on fairly traded goods, more than in any other country; further notes that fair trade goods have been available in the Palace of Westminster for several years; but calls upon the Refreshment Departments of the two Houses to ensure that all tea and coffee sold in the Palace is exclusively fairly traded.
