Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Humfrey Malins (Conservative). It was answered by Douglas Alexander (Labour) on Wednesday, 3 March 2010 on behalf of the Department for International Development.
Fairtrade Fortnight
- Question
- What contribution his Department has made to Fairtrade fortnight.
- Answer
-
The Minister of State, officials from my Department and I are all taking part in a number of events and awareness-raising efforts through Fairtrade fortnight. Our participation is testament to the value that we place on Fairtrade's contribution to development and to reducing poverty. That is, of course, underpinned by our White Paper commitment of £12 million to expand Fairtrade globally, so that we can double the number of producers who benefit directly.
