Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent estimate she has made of when the revised version of the guidance entitled Government buying standards for food and catering services will be published.

We are reviewing the responses received to the public sector food and catering policy consultation. Officials are considering how best to update the current Government buying standards for food and catering services to support the transition to a healthier, more sustainable food system.

We plan to publish the Government Response, Summary of Responses, updated policy and supporting guidance in the summer.
