Written question asked by Lord Jopling (Conservative) on Thursday, 20 October 2016, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 3 November 2016. It was answered by Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Conservative) on Wednesday, 2 November 2016 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


Government Hospitality: Wines

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Statement by Baroness Anelay of St Johns on 13 October (HLWS187), what was the average price paid by Government Hospitality per bottle of (1) white, and (2) red, wines produced in (a) France, (b) Germany, (c) Italy, (d) Spain, (e) South Africa, (f) Australia, (g) New Zealand, (h) the United States, and (i) the UK.

Answer

As highlighted in the Annual Statement of 13 October (HLWS187), the average cost per bottle of wine bought by Government Hospitality in 2015-16 was £11.00. Government Hospitality does not calculate the average cost of bottles purchased by type or country of origin, as to do so would incur disproportionate costs.
