Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many and what proportion of Union Jack flags purchased by his Department in each of the last two years were manufactured in the UK.
The Department purchased six Union Jack flags in 2020 and one Union Jack flag in 2021. Three of these were for display on a pole and four for table settings.
The flags were purchased from the Hampshire Flag Company, which manufactures at its site in Waterlooville, Hampshire.
All flags purchased in the past two years have therefore been manufactured in the UK.
